Physicochemical properties of p-hydroazobenzene: a nonlinear optical crystal

Crystal of p-hydroazobenezene was grown and the crystal system is confirmed by analysis the XRD data. The material delineated in monclinic system with the space group of Pbca. FTIR and Raman spectrum analysis have been performed to comprehend the molecular interactions and to learn the vibrational nature of the functional groups in the title compound. Optical, and thermal stability analysis were also been carried out. Exhaustive explorations were conducted on the optical properties of the crystal using both quantum chemical calculations and experimental data.
