Exploration of physicochemical properties of 4-methoxy acetanilide: A nonlinear optical crystal

Abstract

The single crystal XRD analysis has been used to examine the structure of the centrosymmetric crystal 4-Methoxy acetanilide. The material delineated in orthorhombic system with the space group of Pbca. FTIR and Raman spectrum analysis have been executed to comprehend the molecular interactions and to study the vibrational nature of the functional groups presented in the title molecule. Characteristic studies like optical, dielectric and thermal stability have also been carried out. Detailed explorations have been conducted on the optical properties of the crystal using both quantum chemical calculations and experimental data.
