    Abstract

    N, N-dimethylamino-N-methylstilbazolium 4-styrenesulphonate (DSSS), was synthesized by

    metathesization of the N, N-dimethylamino-N-methylstilbazolium iodide (DASI) salt with

    sodium 4-styrenesulfonate. The growth of DSSS single crystal was carried out by adopting

    the slope nucleation coupled slow evaporation method. DSSS crystals with size 4x2x1mm3

    were grown within a period of 15 days. The structure and composition of the crystal were

    studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction, CHN and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)

    analyses. The FTIR results reveal the existence of the vinyl groups and their corresponding

    vibrational modes. The melting point and thermal behavior of DSSS were investigated using

    differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) and thermogravimetric analyses (TGA).

    1. IntroductionOrganic crystals have been a recent source of interest as THz emitters as they have

    been reported to generate stronger THz signals than commonly used semiconductor or

    inorganic electro optic emitters owing to their large second-order nonlinear electric

    susceptibility [1]. They offer vast design possibilities to tailor the linear and nonlinear

    properties, and due to the almost completely electronic origin of the nonlinearity, they are

    well suited for future high speed devices [2]. However, only very few organic materials could

    so far be crystallized in reasonable crystal size and optical grade to realize various

    applications. Organic crystals like; N, N-dimethylamino-N-methylstilbazolium

    p-toluenesulphonate (DAST), have very high NLO coefficients and at the same time have a

    low dielectric constant and thus making them a perfect choice for THz generation [3, 4].

    By far, the generation of broadband high power THz waves from DAST single crystal

    has been realized up to 30 THz by difference frequency generation (DFG) and, the generation

    of sub-10 THz waves are achieved by optical rectification (OR) with appropriate lasers [5, 6].

    However, a number of absorption features in the THz spectra of DAST limits its application,

    for example; the strongest absorption at 1.1 THz is attributed to the TO phonon resonance

    and it leads to a gap in the emitted spectrum at this frequency. Another major constraint for

    the development of DAST crystal is; the formation of hydrated DAST co-crystals, which

    destroys the noncentrosymmetric crystal structure [3]. The formation of hydrated DAST

    prevents the use of water as a solvent for the growth of large size DAST crystal. Hence,

    efforts have been made to find high quality THz materials which can serve as alternates for

    DAST. Interestingly, these kinds of materials are searched within those materials which

    exhibit DAST-like structure.

    When DAST crystals are used as terahertz wave generators using difference

    frequency generation (DFG), polarized direction of the two laser beams with different

    wavelengths should be set parallel to crystallographic a-axis because the diagonal component

    d11 of DAST crystals is used. However, in DAST crystals, the cations with a large first-

    hyperpolarizability () align tilted from the polar a-axis by about 20 0[7], which means that

    the maximum performance of the cation has not been brought out as macroscopic NLO

    properties in DAST crystals. In this connection, the anion exchange of DAST is worth

    investigating to find crystals with larger NLO properties [8, 9]. An important feature of anion

    is its effectiveness in solubility control. For crystal growth from solution, appropriate

    solubility of the crystal is required [10]. The studies on the property variation caused by anion

    exchange are considered as an interesting subject to find out new compounds not only with

    large NLO properties but also with easy crystal-growing ability [11].

    In an effort to develop new molecules with high molecular nonlinearities, three series

    of stilbazolium derivatives with various sizes of the counter anions have been systematically

    investigated by Yang et al to understand the effect of counteranions on the crystal structure

    and SHG activity of these compounds [12]. The counter anions attempted in this experiment

    included the methyl group as well as bulky counter anions of naphthalenesulfonate and

    styrenesulfonate. The use of p-styrenesulfonate resulted in 4-N,N-Dimethylamino-4-N-

    methyl stilbazolium 4-styrenesulfonate (DSSS); an interesting DAST derivative, which not

    only exhibited the DAST-like structure but also possessed powder SHG efficiency almost

    equal to that of DAST [12]. But unfortunately, only polycrystalline DSSS was obtained by

    slow evaporation technique, even though the material was well-dissolved in DMF. In another

    attempt, Ogawa et al have adopted a different approach to synthesize DSSS by the anion

    exchange reaction of N,N-dimethylamino-N-methylstilbazolium iodide (DASI) with silver

    arylsulfonate [11]. By using this procedure, tiny DSSS crystals of size up to 0.5 mm were

    obtained. However; owing to the smaller size of the crystals, the studies were limited to the

    preliminary analysis with powder XRD, elemental analysis, FT-IR and proton NMR.

    In view of the DAST-like structure and the high SHG efficiency observed in DSSS, it

    is expected that the crystal can act as a THz emitter. But the size of the crystal has to be

    further improved to realize various applications including, the THz generation. In our earlier

    work [4], we reported on the growth of DAST crystal by rapid evaporation, as a continuation

    of our on-going research on organic THz materials, an attempt has been made in this article

    to investigate the growth of bulk size crystals of DSSS. In the present work, DSSS was

    prepared by metathesization of the N,N-dimethylamino-N-methylstilbazolium iodide (DASI)

    salt with sodium 4-styrenesulfonate. Deviated from the earlier works, mixed solvent of

    water:methanol (1:1) was used successfully to grow bulk size crystal of DSSS. The size of

    the harvested crystal has been improved at least 8 times than the previously reported work

    [11, 12]. The structure of the crystals has been solved by single crystal XRD analysis. As a

    potential THz material, the DSSS crystal was subjected to CHN, NMR, TG-DTA, DSC and

    FT-IR studies.

    2. Experimental

    2.1 Synthesis

    DSSS was prepared by metathesization of the N,N-dimethylamino-N-methylstilbazolium iodide (DASI) salt with sodium 4-styrenesulfonate. DASI was

    synthesized by the condensation of 1,4-dimethyl pyridinium iodide (2.35 g, 10 mmol),

    methanol (30 ml) and 4-N, N-dimethylamino-benzaldehyde (1.79 g, 10 mmol) in the

    presence of piperidine (0.2 ml) [13]. The above mixture was refluxed for 20 hours and then

    cooled to room temperature. The product was filtered and recrystallized from methanol at

    least three times. The reaction scheme employed in the present synthesis of DSSS is

    presented in Fig. 1. The metathesizaton reaction was carried out as follows: 1 g (2.73 mmol)

    of DASI was dissolved in 100 ml of distilled water by heating and simultaneously, 0.563 g

    (2.73 mmol) of sodium p-styrenesulfonate was dissolved in 20 ml of water by heating. The

    two hot solutions were mixed and further heated for 30 minutes at 70 0C and then cooled to

    room temperature. The resulting product (DSSS) appeared as a greenish precipitate due to the

    anion exchange reaction. The aqueous sodium iodide was separated from the former by

    vacuum filtration. The purity of DSSS was further improved by successive recrystallization.

    2.2 Solubility

    In order to investigate the crystalline habit of DSSS, several solvents in pure or mixed

    forms were investigated to grow DSSS crystal. Initially, various combinations of solvents

    were taken on a trial and error basis; solvents like methanol-acetonitrile, methanol-water,acetonitrile-water and methanol-acetonitrile-DMF were tried. Interestingly, only in the

    methanol-water mixed solvent system, the crystal formation was observed and for other

    systems, the crystallization was absent. Further, we changed the volume ratios of methanol

    and water in different ratios and the study revealed the possibility of crystal growth only in

    equal volume ratio of methanol-water mixed solvent system. The solubility diagram for

    DSSS in methanol-water (taken in 1:1 ratio) at different temperatures of 30, 35, 40, 45 and

    50

    C is shown in Fig. 2. DSSS has a positive solubility coefficient in methanol:watersolvent, since its solubility increases with the temperature, the crystal can be conveniently

    grown by the method of temperature lowering or slow solvent evaporation method.

    Fig. 2 Solubility curve of DSSS in methanol-water

    2.3 Crystal growth

    Crystal growth was performed by employing slope nucleation coupled slow solvent

    evaporation technique. The details of the experimental setup used for slope nucleation

    method are discussed elsewhere [4]. Based on the solubility data, 1 g of DSSS was dissolved

    in 150 ml of methanol-water solvent system (75 ml of methanol and 75 ml of water) at 45 oC.

    The solution was prepared in a Teflon beaker with a Teflon plate with parallel grooves; it was

    6/17

    Journal of Crystal Growth 338 (2012) 170176

    then sealed with a perforated cap and kept in a constant temperature bath at 45 oC. After 15

    days of evaporation, crystals with size up to 4 x 2 x 1 mm3were harvested. The size of the

    crystal has increased at least 8 fold when compared to the 0.5 x 0.5 mm2plate-shaped crystals

    reported by Ogawa et al [11]. The DSSS crystals appeared green in colour (Fig. 3). We

    believe that the growth of the crystal with mixed solvent of water-methanol along with the

    slope nucleation coupled slow evaporation method have favoured the growth of good quality

    size crystals. In a similar manner, during the growth of N, N-dimethylamino-N-

    methylstilbazolium p-chlorobenzenesulphonate (another DAST derivative); Matsukawa et al

    have successfully used mixed solvents of methanol-acetonitrile to improve the size of the

    crystal [5].

    3. Results and Discussion

    3.1 Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis

    The crystallographic structure of DSSS was determined by single X-ray diffraction

    analysis using a Bruker Kappa APEX II diffractometer. The structure was determined from

    the single crystal XRD intensity data collected at 293 K. The absorption correction was given

    using the semi-empirical from equivalents. The structure solution and refinement were

    performed using SHELXL program. The structure was solved by direct methods and full

    matrix least-squares refinements using F2taking all the unique reflections. The crystal data

    for DSSS along with experimental conditions and structure refinements parameters are

    presented in Table 1. All the non-hydrogen atoms were refined with anisotropic thermal

    parameters. The H-atoms which participated in the H-bonds were located from the different

    Fourier and refined with isotropic thermal parameters. The hydrogen co-ordinates and

    isotropic displacement parameters for DSSS are listed in Table 2. [CCDC 824517 contains

    the supplementary crystallographic data for this paper. These data can be obtained free of

    charge via www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/data_request/cif, by e-mailing [email protected]

    or by contacting The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre, 12 Union Road, Cambridge

    CB2 1EZ, UK; fax: +44 1223 336033]. It is evident from Table 1 that the DSSS crystal

    belongs to monoclinic system with space group Cc and point group m with four ion-pairs per

    unit cell. It is observed that the crystal system, space group and cell parameters of DSSS are

    almost similar to that of DAST. Interestingly, there are a few other DAST derivatives like N,

    N-dimethylamino-N-methylstilbazolium 2,4,6-trimethylbenzenesulphonate (DSTMS), N,N-

    dimethylamino-N-methylstilbazolium p-trifluoromethylbenzenesulphonate (DSPFS) and

    DASC which have DAST-like structure and thereby regarded as isomorphs of DAST [12, 14,

    15]. The present XRD data of DSSS is almost matching with those crystal data for DAST

    reported by Marder et al. and also for DSSS reported by Ogawa et al. where DSSS is referred

    as material 2e [7, 11]. The ORTEP representation of one ion-pair of DSSS is shown in Fig. 4

    and the crystal packing diagram is given in Fig. 5. For ion structure of DSSS, disorder was

    observed in the anion part although the cation structure was determined unequivocally. The

    vinyl group of DSSS is seen located right and left to the molecular long axis on the benzyl

    ring plane. This is explained by -conjugation stabilization between the benzene ring and

    vinyl group in DSSS. The complete parallel alignment for cation, as evident from the DSSS

    crystal packing, is expected to give maximum second order NLO performance of the cation

    in microscopic scale [16].

    3.2 CHN Analysis

    The elemental composition of the DSSS crystal was analyzed using Perkin-Elmer

    series II 2400 CHNS/O elemental analyzer. The calculated values of C24H26N2O3S are;

    C=68.22; H=6.2; N=6.63 and the values experimentally found are; C=67.96; H=6.18;N=6.68. Thus there is a close agreement between the calculated and experimental values of

    CHN.

    3.3 NMR Analysis

    The proton NMR spectrum of DSSS was recorded by dissolving the sample in

    deuterated methanol using Burker AVANCE III 500 MHz FT NMR spectrometer. NMR

    spectrum is analysed in order to confirm the molecular structure of the synthesized

    compounds by identifying the presence of Hydrogen nuclei. In the proton NMR spectrum

    (Fig. 6) of DSSS, the singlets at 3.09 and 4.215 are assigned to three CCH3hydrogens and

    six N-(CH3)2hydrogens. The doublets at 5.33 and 5.89 are due to two hydrogens of CH2 and

    the multiplet at 6.79 is due to CH hydrogen of the vinyl group. The doublets at 7.63 and 7.51

    are attributed to the four hydrogens of the N-(CH3)2-C6H4aromatic ring. The doublets at 7.79

    and 7.86 are attributed to the two aromatic hydrogens ortho to SO3 and two aromatic

    hydrogens ortho toCH3. The doublets at 7.98 and 8.52 are due the four hydrogens ortho to

    the C5H4N aromatic ring. The doublet at 7.12 is due to the two oliphinic hydrogens

    (HC=CH).

    3.4 Optical absorption spectral analysis

    Figure 7 shows the absorption spectrum of DSSS recorded in solid phase using

    SHIMADZU spectrophotometer in the wavelength region 200 to 900 nm. Since the DSSS

    crystal is iso-structural to DAST one may not expect much deviation in the optical absorptionproperty. The optical absorption spectrum of DSSS dissolved in methanol was also recorded.

    It is well known that when DAST and its derivatives are dissolved in methanol, it leads to

    dissociated state generating free cations and anions [17]. Thus, the absorption behaviour of

    DSSS in the visible region is not different from that of DAST in the solution phase. The

    observed major peak at 476 nm represents the stilbazolium chromophore [18].

    The sample was characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy in order to identify the

    functional groups and detect the vibrational modes of molecules of the sample. The FTIR

    spectrum recorded using BRUKER IFS 66V FT-IR spectrometer. The measurement was done

    with KBr method for the wavelength range 400 to 4000 cm-1and the spectrum is shown in

    Fig. 8. The characteristic frequencies observed between 500 and 700 cm-1 are due to the out

    of plane ring bending modes and frequencies between 1100 and 1200 cm-1 are assigned to the

    in plane ring deformation modes are observed. The CH stretching mode is observed at 3032

    cm-1 [4, 19]. The peaks at 3010, 1437, 1029 and 941 cm-1are assigned to CH2 symmetric

    stretch, CH2scissoring CH2rocking and CH2wagging of the vinyl group. The peaks that are

    observed at 1370 and 1342 cm-1 are attributed to the ring C-C stretching and ring C-H in-

    plane bending, vinyl C-H rocking and CC stretching modes, respectively [20].

    Fig. 8 FTIR spectrum of DSSS

    3.6 Thermal Analysis

    The thermal behavior of DSSS was investigated by DSC and TG-DTA techniques

    using Perkin-Elmer DSC-7 and TGA-7 spectrometers respectively. The endothermic peak

    seen at 277 oC in the DSC traces (Fig. 9) is attributed to the melting of the DSSS sample.

    This result is in agreement with the thermal analysis report on DSSS by Ogawa et al [11].

    The TG-DTA thermogram (Fig. 10) indicates that the DSSS crystal starts decomposing at

    around 300 oC. There are three stages of weight loss in the sample, the first decomposition

    occurs between 300 and 350 oC. In the second stage, a major weight loss of 39.59 % is

    noticed which may be due to the release of SO3and the third stage of decomposition takes

    place after 500 0C which corresponds to the removal of toluene. A comparison of melting

    point of the sample with a few other stilbazolium derivatives with promising SHG activity is

    listed in Table 3. It is evident that DSSS is thermally more stable than DAST as well as

    DAST derivatives like DSTMS, DSDMS, DSANS, DSAS, DSMAS and DSMOS [11 - 13].

    4. Conclusion

    The growth of a novel single crystal of DSSS was achieved by slope nucleation

    coupled slow evaporation method. The present study demonstrated the enhancement in the

    size of the crystal achieved through proper choice of solvent and growth conditions. The

    improvement in the size of the crystal assumes much significance as the material is known

    for its high SHG efficiency. Single crystal XRD analysis confirmed the DAST-like structure

    of the grown crystal. The composition of the sample was verified by CHN, NMR and FT-IR

    studies. The thermal analysis ascertains superior thermal stability of DSSS when compared to

    DAST and a few other DAST derivatives. The development of DSSS crystal with its superior

    SHG activity coupled with moderate thermal stability makes it a potential material for THz

    generation. Further studies on the THz-TDS spectra of the crystal are under progress and it

    will be reported soon.
