Synthesis, growth, Hirshfeld surface analysis and crystal structure of a pyridine based chalcone single crystal

In this article we present the growth and structural details of a pyridine based chalcone single crystal grown using the method, slow evaporation of solvent. The crystal structure was studied by X-ray diffraction method. The solid belongs to orthorhombic crystal system with a non-centrosymmetric space group Pna2(1). Weak C-H-O intermolecular hydrogen bond interactions stabilize the crystal structure, which is further confirmed by surface analysis by Hirshfeld. As the material crystalizes in enantiomorphic crystal structure, it may be a potential candidate for various photonic applications. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
