Abstract
Single crystals of Tetrakis(hydrazine)cadmium(II) chloride monohydrate (TCCM) were synthesised and characterised. The crystals were synthesised by solvent evaporation technique at ambient temperature. The presence of different elements in the compound and their composition were confirmed by energy dispersive analysis of X-ray (EDAX) and elemental analysis (CHN). FTIR spectroscopy confirms the presence of functional groups and molecular structure has been confirmed by 1H NMR spectrum of the grown crystal. The sharp Bragg peaks from powder X-ray diffraction pattern shows crystalline nature of the compound. Thermal properties of TCCM were examined by thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and low temperature differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Second-harmonic generation (SHG) measurement on the powder samples does not exhibit SHG efficiency.
