Experimental Studies of Bimetallic Zinc-Cadmium Admixed L-Threonine Single Crystal

A bimetallic compound Zn²⁺ [Cd (C₂H₃O₂) (C₄H₈NO₃) (H₂O)], fabrication and its analysis is the major focus of this article. The bimetallic single crystal namely Zinc L-threonine Cadmium Acetate, has been crystallized by the simple method of slow evaporation technique. X-ray diffraction technique identified that, the prepared bimetallic single crystal with asymmetric units of a polymeric structure belongs to the class of monoclinic crystal system with a = 5.87 Å, b = 8.87 Å, c = 10.81 Å, α = γ = 90°, β = 91.84°, space group P2₁ and_. volume 563ų. The optical nature of the crystal specifically its transparency has sufficiently increased nearly cent percentage due the presence of organic ligand’s present in the L-threonine amino acids. The impacts of zinc on the thermal stability and different stages of chemical degradations are studied with the aid of Thermo gravimetric and differential thermal analysis. Thermal stability increases nearly 5% with the addition of zinc concentration. The dielectric studies support the finding that the zinc doping increases dielectric constant by five times compared to the L-threonine cadmium acetate crystal. Second harmonic generations efficiency increases almost 20% in each 0.2 mol% of the zinc addition. Magnetic properties are also elucidated and the effect of zinc has been analysed and the materials are identified as a paramagnetic nature due to the partially filled electron in the d-shell of Zn²⁺ion.
