ABSTRACT:

4-Aminopyridinium oxalate is an organic crystal has been grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique. The solubility of the 4-Aminopyridinium oxalate crystal increases with increasing temperature. The structure of 4-Aminopyridinium oxalate is confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction method. The title compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system and the space group is C2/c. The presence of various functional groups in the grown crystal is identified from FTIR analysis. The optical property such as transmittance of the grown 4-Aminopyridinium oxalate crystal is obtained from UV-Visible spectroscopic studies. The mechanical stability of the grown crystal has been studied by using Vickers microhardness test and it reveals that the 4-Aminopyridinium oxalate crystal is the soft category material. The dielectric constant and the dielectric loss of the specimen were also studied.
