Abstract
N, N-dimethylamino-N-methylstilbazolium 4-styrenesulphonate (DSSS), was synthesized by
metathesization of the N, N-dimethylamino-N-methylstilbazolium iodide (DASI) salt with
sodium 4-styrenesulfonate. The growth of DSSS single crystal was carried out by adopting
the slope nucleation coupled slow evaporation method. DSSS crystals with size 4x2x1mm3
were grown within a period of 15 days. The structure and composition of the crystal were
studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction, CHN and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
analyses. The FTIR results reveal the existence of the vinyl groups and their corresponding
vibrational modes. The melting point and thermal behavior of DSSS were investigated using
differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) and thermogravimetric analyses (TGA).

1. IntroductionOrganic crystals have been a recent source of interest as THz emitters as they have
been reported to generate stronger THz signals than commonly used semiconductor or
inorganic electro optic emitters owing to their large second-order nonlinear electric
susceptibility [1]. They offer vast design possibilities to tailor the linear and nonlinear
properties, and due to the almost completely electronic origin of the nonlinearity, they are
well suited for future high speed devices [2]. However, only very few organic materials could
so far be crystallized in reasonable crystal size and optical grade to realize various
applications. Organic crystals like; N, N-dimethylamino-N-methylstilbazolium
p-toluenesulphonate (DAST), have very high NLO coefficients and at the same time have a
low dielectric constant and thus making them a perfect choice for THz generation [3, 4].
By far, the generation of broadband high power THz waves from DAST single crystal
has been realized up to 30 THz by difference frequency generation (DFG) and, the generation
of sub-10 THz waves are achieved by optical rectification (OR) with appropriate lasers [5, 6].
However, a number of absorption features in the THz spectra of DAST limits its application,
for example; the strongest absorption at 1.1 THz is attributed to the TO phonon resonance
and it leads to a gap in the emitted spectrum at this frequency. Another major constraint for
the development of DAST crystal is; the formation of hydrated DAST co-crystals, which
destroys the noncentrosymmetric crystal structure [3]. The formation of hydrated DAST
prevents the use of water as a solvent for the growth of large size DAST crystal. Hence,
efforts have been made to find high quality THz materials which can serve as alternates for
DAST. Interestingly, these kinds of materials are searched within those materials which
exhibit DAST-like structure.
When DAST crystals are used as terahertz wave generators using difference
frequency generation (DFG), polarized direction of the two laser beams with different
wavelengths should be set parallel to crystallographic a-axis because the diagonal component
d11 of DAST crystals is used. However, in DAST crystals, the cations with a large first-
hyperpolarizability () align tilted from the polar a-axis by about 20 0[7], which means that
the maximum performance of the cation has not been brought out as macroscopic NLO
properties in DAST crystals. In this connection, the anion exchange of DAST is worth
investigating to find crystals with larger NLO properties [8, 9]. An important feature of anion
is its effectiveness in solubility control. For crystal growth from solution, appropriate
solubility of the crystal is required [10]. The studies on the property variation caused by anion

exchange are considered as an interesting subject to find out new compounds not only with
large NLO properties but also with easy crystal-growing ability [11].
In an effort to develop new molecules with high molecular nonlinearities, three series
of stilbazolium derivatives with various sizes of the counter anions have been systematically
investigated by Yang et al to understand the effect of counteranions on the crystal structure
and SHG activity of these compounds [12]. The counter anions attempted in this experiment
included the methyl group as well as bulky counter anions of naphthalenesulfonate and
styrenesulfonate. The use of p-styrenesulfonate resulted in 4-N,N-Dimethylamino-4-N-
methyl stilbazolium 4-styrenesulfonate (DSSS); an interesting DAST derivative, which not
only exhibited the DAST-like structure but also possessed powder SHG efficiency almost
equal to that of DAST [12]. But unfortunately, only polycrystalline DSSS was obtained by
slow evaporation technique, even though the material was well-dissolved in DMF. In another
attempt, Ogawa et al have adopted a different approach to synthesize DSSS by the anion
exchange reaction of N,N-dimethylamino-N-methylstilbazolium iodide (DASI) with silver
arylsulfonate [11]. By using this procedure, tiny DSSS crystals of size up to 0.5 mm were
obtained. However; owing to the smaller size of the crystals, the studies were limited to the
preliminary analysis with powder XRD, elemental analysis, FT-IR and proton NMR.
In view of the DAST-like structure and the high SHG efficiency observed in DSSS, it
is expected that the crystal can act as a THz emitter. But the size of the crystal has to be
further improved to realize various applications including, the THz generation. In our earlier
work [4], we reported on the growth of DAST crystal by rapid evaporation, as a continuation
of our on-going research on organic THz materials, an attempt has been made in this article
to investigate the growth of bulk size crystals of DSSS. In the present work, DSSS was
prepared by metathesization of the N,N-dimethylamino-N-methylstilbazolium iodide (DASI)
salt with sodium 4-styrenesulfonate. Deviated from the earlier works, mixed solvent of
water:methanol (1:1) was used successfully to grow bulk size crystal of DSSS. The size of
the harvested crystal has been improved at least 8 times than the previously reported work
[11, 12]. The structure of the crystals has been solved by single crystal XRD analysis. As a
potential THz material, the DSSS crystal was subjected to CHN, NMR, TG-DTA, DSC and
FT-IR studies.
2. Experimental
2.1 Synthesis
DSSS was prepared by metathesization of the N,N-dimethylamino-N-methylstilbazolium iodide (DASI) salt with sodium 4-styrenesulfonate. DASI was

synthesized by the condensation of 1,4-dimethyl pyridinium iodide (2.35 g, 10 mmol),
methanol (30 ml) and 4-N, N-dimethylamino-benzaldehyde (1.79 g, 10 mmol) in the
presence of piperidine (0.2 ml) [13]. The above mixture was refluxed for 20 hours and then
cooled to room temperature. The product was filtered and recrystallized from methanol at
least three times. The reaction scheme employed in the present synthesis of DSSS is
presented in Fig. 1. The metathesizaton reaction was carried out as follows: 1 g (2.73 mmol)
of DASI was dissolved in 100 ml of distilled water by heating and simultaneously, 0.563 g
(2.73 mmol) of sodium p-styrenesulfonate was dissolved in 20 ml of water by heating. The
two hot solutions were mixed and further heated for 30 minutes at 70 0C and then cooled to
room temperature. The resulting product (DSSS) appeared as a greenish precipitate due to the
anion exchange reaction. The aqueous sodium iodide was separated from the former by
vacuum filtration. The purity of DSSS was further improved by successive recrystallization.

2.2 Solubility
In order to investigate the crystalline habit of DSSS, several solvents in pure or mixed
forms were investigated to grow DSSS crystal. Initially, various combinations of solvents
were taken on a trial and error basis; solvents like methanol-acetonitrile, methanol-water,acetonitrile-water and methanol-acetonitrile-DMF were tried. Interestingly, only in the
methanol-water mixed solvent system, the crystal formation was observed and for other
systems, the crystallization was absent. Further, we changed the volume ratios of methanol
and water in different ratios and the study revealed the possibility of crystal growth only in
equal volume ratio of methanol-water mixed solvent system. The solubility diagram for
DSSS in methanol-water (taken in 1:1 ratio) at different temperatures of 30, 35, 40, 45 and
50
0
C is shown in Fig. 2. DSSS has a positive solubility coefficient in methanol:watersolvent, since its solubility increases with the temperature, the crystal can be conveniently
grown by the method of temperature lowering or slow solvent evaporation method.

2.3 Crystal growth
Crystal growth was performed by employing slope nucleation coupled slow solvent
evaporation technique. The details of the experimental setup used for slope nucleation
method are discussed elsewhere [4]. Based on the solubility data, 1 g of DSSS was dissolved
in 150 ml of methanol-water solvent system (75 ml of methanol and 75 ml of water) at 45 oC.
The solution was prepared in a Teflon beaker with a Teflon plate with parallel grooves; it was

then sealed with a perforated cap and kept in a constant temperature bath at 45 oC. After 15
days of evaporation, crystals with size up to 4 x 2 x 1 mm3were harvested. The size of the
crystal has increased at least 8 fold when compared to the 0.5 x 0.5 mm2plate-shaped crystals
reported by Ogawa et al [11]. The DSSS crystals appeared green in colour (Fig. 3). We
believe that the growth of the crystal with mixed solvent of water-methanol along with the
slope nucleation coupled slow evaporation method have favoured the growth of good quality
size crystals. In a similar manner, during the growth of N, N-dimethylamino-N-
methylstilbazolium p-chlorobenzenesulphonate (another DAST derivative); Matsukawa et al
have successfully used mixed solvents of methanol-acetonitrile to improve the size of the
crystal [5].

3. Results and Discussion
3.1 Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis
The crystallographic structure of DSSS was determined by single X-ray diffraction
analysis using a Bruker Kappa APEX II diffractometer. The structure was determined from
the single crystal XRD intensity data collected at 293 K. The absorption correction was given
using the semi-empirical from equivalents. The structure solution and refinement were
performed using SHELXL program. The structure was solved by direct methods and full
matrix least-squares refinements using F2taking all the unique reflections. The crystal data
for DSSS along with experimental conditions and structure refinements parameters are

presented in Table 1. All the non-hydrogen atoms were refined with anisotropic thermal
parameters. The H-atoms which participated in the H-bonds were located from the different
Fourier and refined with isotropic thermal parameters. The hydrogen co-ordinates and
isotropic displacement parameters for DSSS are listed in Table 2. [CCDC 824517 contains
the supplementary crystallographic data for this paper. These data can be obtained free of
charge via www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/data_request/cif, by e-mailing [email protected]
or by contacting The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre, 12 Union Road, Cambridge
CB2 1EZ, UK; fax: +44 1223 336033]. It is evident from Table 1 that the DSSS crystal
belongs to monoclinic system with space group Cc and point group m with four ion-pairs per
unit cell. It is observed that the crystal system, space group and cell parameters of DSSS are
almost similar to that of DAST. Interestingly, there are a few other DAST derivatives like N,
N-dimethylamino-N-methylstilbazolium 2,4,6-trimethylbenzenesulphonate (DSTMS), N,N-
dimethylamino-N-methylstilbazolium p-trifluoromethylbenzenesulphonate (DSPFS) and
DASC which have DAST-like structure and thereby regarded as isomorphs of DAST [12, 14,
15]. The present XRD data of DSSS is almost matching with those crystal data for DAST
reported by Marder et al. and also for DSSS reported by Ogawa et al. where DSSS is referred
as material 2e [7, 11]. The ORTEP representation of one ion-pair of DSSS is shown in Fig. 4
and the crystal packing diagram is given in Fig. 5. For ion structure of DSSS, disorder was
observed in the anion part although the cation structure was determined unequivocally. The
vinyl group of DSSS is seen located right and left to the molecular long axis on the benzyl
ring plane. This is explained by -conjugation stabilization between the benzene ring and
vinyl group in DSSS. The complete parallel alignment for cation, as evident from the DSSS
crystal packing, is expected to give maximum second order NLO performance of the cation
in microscopic scale [16].

3.2 CHN Analysis
The elemental composition of the DSSS crystal was analyzed using Perkin-Elmer
series II 2400 CHNS/O elemental analyzer. The calculated values of C24H26N2O3S are;
C=68.22; H=6.2; N=6.63 and the values experimentally found are; C=67.96; H=6.18;N=6.68. Thus there is a close agreement between the calculated and experimental values of
CHN.
3.3 NMR Analysis
The proton NMR spectrum of DSSS was recorded by dissolving the sample in
deuterated methanol using Burker AVANCE III 500 MHz FT NMR spectrometer. NMR
spectrum is analysed in order to confirm the molecular structure of the synthesized
compounds by identifying the presence of Hydrogen nuclei. In the proton NMR spectrum
(Fig. 6) of DSSS, the singlets at 3.09 and 4.215 are assigned to three CCH3hydrogens and
six N-(CH3)2hydrogens. The doublets at 5.33 and 5.89 are due to two hydrogens of CH2 and
the multiplet at 6.79 is due to CH hydrogen of the vinyl group. The doublets at 7.63 and 7.51
are attributed to the four hydrogens of the N-(CH3)2-C6H4aromatic ring. The doublets at 7.79
and 7.86 are attributed to the two aromatic hydrogens ortho to SO3 and two aromatic
hydrogens ortho toCH3. The doublets at 7.98 and 8.52 are due the four hydrogens ortho to
the C5H4N aromatic ring. The doublet at 7.12 is due to the two oliphinic hydrogens
(HC=CH).

3.4 Optical absorption spectral analysis
Figure 7 shows the absorption spectrum of DSSS recorded in solid phase using
SHIMADZU spectrophotometer in the wavelength region 200 to 900 nm. Since the DSSS
crystal is iso-structural to DAST one may not expect much deviation in the optical absorptionproperty. The optical absorption spectrum of DSSS dissolved in methanol was also recorded.
It is well known that when DAST and its derivatives are dissolved in methanol, it leads to
dissociated state generating free cations and anions [17]. Thus, the absorption behaviour of
DSSS in the visible region is not different from that of DAST in the solution phase. The
observed major peak at 476 nm represents the stilbazolium chromophore [18].

3.5FTIR spectral analysis
The sample was characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy in order to identify the
functional groups and detect the vibrational modes of molecules of the sample. The FTIR
spectrum recorded using BRUKER IFS 66V FT-IR spectrometer. The measurement was done
with KBr method for the wavelength range 400 to 4000 cm-1and the spectrum is shown in
Fig. 8. The characteristic frequencies observed between 500 and 700 cm-1 are due to the out
of plane ring bending modes and frequencies between 1100 and 1200 cm-1 are assigned to the
in plane ring deformation modes are observed. The CH stretching mode is observed at 3032

cm-1 [4, 19]. The peaks at 3010, 1437, 1029 and 941 cm-1are assigned to CH2 symmetric
stretch, CH2scissoring CH2rocking and CH2wagging of the vinyl group. The peaks that are
observed at 1370 and 1342 cm-1 are attributed to the ring C-C stretching and ring C-H in-
plane bending, vinyl C-H rocking and CC stretching modes, respectively [20].
Fig. 8 FTIR spectrum of DSSS
3.6 Thermal Analysis
The thermal behavior of DSSS was investigated by DSC and TG-DTA techniques
using Perkin-Elmer DSC-7 and TGA-7 spectrometers respectively. The endothermic peak
seen at 277 oC in the DSC traces (Fig. 9) is attributed to the melting of the DSSS sample.
This result is in agreement with the thermal analysis report on DSSS by Ogawa et al [11].
The TG-DTA thermogram (Fig. 10) indicates that the DSSS crystal starts decomposing at
around 300 oC. There are three stages of weight loss in the sample, the first decomposition
occurs between 300 and 350 oC. In the second stage, a major weight loss of 39.59 % is
noticed which may be due to the release of SO3and the third stage of decomposition takes
place after 500 0C which corresponds to the removal of toluene. A comparison of melting
point of the sample with a few other stilbazolium derivatives with promising SHG activity is
listed in Table 3. It is evident that DSSS is thermally more stable than DAST as well as
DAST derivatives like DSTMS, DSDMS, DSANS, DSAS, DSMAS and DSMOS [11 - 13].

4. Conclusion
The growth of a novel single crystal of DSSS was achieved by slope nucleation
coupled slow evaporation method. The present study demonstrated the enhancement in the
size of the crystal achieved through proper choice of solvent and growth conditions. The
improvement in the size of the crystal assumes much significance as the material is known
for its high SHG efficiency. Single crystal XRD analysis confirmed the DAST-like structure
of the grown crystal. The composition of the sample was verified by CHN, NMR and FT-IR
studies. The thermal analysis ascertains superior thermal stability of DSSS when compared to
DAST and a few other DAST derivatives. The development of DSSS crystal with its superior
SHG activity coupled with moderate thermal stability makes it a potential material for THz
generation. Further studies on the THz-TDS spectra of the crystal are under progress and it
will be reported soon.
