X. Dong et al., A NEW AROMATIC ORGANOMETALLIC NONLINEAR-OPTICAL CRYSTAL - [BIS-4-NITROPYRIDINE-N-OXIDE CADMIUM CHLORIDE], Materials research bulletin, 29(1), 1994, pp. 73-79
A new nonlinear optical crystal BPONCC [Bis-4-nitropyridine-N- oxide c
admium chloride, Cd(NO2C5H4NO)(2)Cl-2], as a derivative of 4-nitropyri
dine-N-oxide,is reported for the first time. Preliminary results show
that its powder intensity is about 8.2 times higher than that of urea,
and the transparency cut-off wavelength is almost same as that of 3-m
ethyl-4-nitropyridine-N-oxide (POM),which is about 420nm. Its melting
point is much higher than that of the other 4-nitropyridine-N-oxide de
rivatives. The crystal structure belongs to space group Fdd2 with cell
parameters a=11.644 Angstrom A, b=50.025 Angstrom A, c=3.808 Angstrom
