title: Synthesis, growth, structural and optical studies of a novel organic Piperazine (bis) p-toluenesulfonate single crystal.
abstract: A novel organic single crystal of Piperazinium (bis) p-toluenesulfonate (PPTS) was grown by a slow evaporation solution growth technique. The structure of the grown crystal was determined using single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The PPTS crystal belongs to the triclinic crystal system with space group of P1¯. The presence of functional groups was confirmed by FTIR spectral analysis. The optical transmittance range and cut-off wavelength were identified by UV-vis-NIR spectral studies. The luminescent properties of PPTS crystal were investigated. The thermal behavior of PPTS crystal was studied by TG-DT analyses.
