What is it about?
Single crystals of 1-(5-chlorothiophen-2-yl)-3-(2,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (CTTMP) having nonlinear optical property have been grown by slow evaporation technique. The functional groups were identified by FT-IR and NMR techniques. The mechanical property of the crystals was studied using Vicker's microhardness tester and the load dependence hardness was observed. The material is dimensionally stable up to 112°C. The dielectric properties of the crystals were determined using semiconductor characterization system. The optical limiting behavior of the crystal was studied using Z-scan technique.

Why is it important?
These chalcone derivative are important as they can be further derivatized to obtain novel molecules. Tosyl group can be replaced by several nucleophiles.
Perspectives
Chalcones are relatively simple to synthesize and characterize. The preparation procedure is scalable to larger quantities. They possess any property from antimicrobial to anticancer, from optical properties to as corrosion inhibitors. Our related publications: (i) A. N.
