Exploring third-order nonlinear optical behavior in bis[4-(2-aminoethyl) morpholine] cadmium diacetate tetrahydrate single crystals
A novel hybrid single crystal of bis[4-(2-aminoethyl) morpholine] cadmium diacetate tetrahydrate (AEMCA) with a bar-like transparent morphology was grown by the slow evaporation solution growth technique. The unit-cell parameters of AEMCA were determined as a = 8.8639(4) Å, b = 9.1035(5) Å, c = 9.2106(5) Å, α = 66.004(2)°, β = 73.603(2)°, γ = 70.161(2)°, and V = 629.63(6) ų by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of characteristic functional groups through molecular vibrations.
