Synthesis, structural, thermal and optical studies of 1-ethyl-2,6-dimethyl-4-hydroxy pyridinium halides.
1-Ethyl-2,6-dimethyl-4-hydroxy pyridinium chloride dihydrate and bromide dihydrate salts have been synthesized and their single crystals were grown by the slow evaporation of aqueous solution at 30 degrees C. The grown crystals were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-NMR and FT-IR techniques to confirm the formation of the expected compound. Optical transmittance window in aqueous solution was found to be 275-1100 nm by UV-vis-NIR technique. Thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses reveal thermal stability and the presence of two water molecules in the crystal lattices. The crystal structure of chloride salt was also determined by X-ray diffraction method.
