In this research, we developed and characterized a novel Schiff base compound, 4-Chloro -2-((Phenylimino)methyl)phenol, (4C2PMP) , focusing on its nonlinear optical and electrochemical properties. Crystals were synthesized using the slow evaporation technique. We employed both powder X-ray diffraction and single-crystal X-ray diffraction to verify the crystal structures. Our optical characterization revealed a lower cut-off wavelength of 563 nm in UV-Visible spectroscopy. The compound exhibited second harmonic generation with emission at 532 nm, while photoluminescence measurements showed a violet shift with a peak at 384 nm and a band gap of 3.21 eV. Laser damage threshold measurements yielded an energy value of 75 mJ, with the crystal demonstrating a power density of 3.98 GW/cm², exceeding the performance of standard reference materials. Infrared spectroscopy confirmed the successful formation of the schiff base ligand, particularly highlighting the -NH₂ nitrogen and -OH oxygen atom bonds. Through Z-scan analysis, we determined the third order non linear optical parameters: nonlinear refractive index (n₂) of 3.84x10⁻⁸ cm²/W, absorption coefficient (β) of 2.11x10⁻⁴ cm/W, and third-order susceptibility (χ³) of 4.07x10⁻⁶ esu. Electrochemical characterization through impedance spectroscopy revealed reaction kinetics, while cyclic voltametry provided insights into electron transfer mechanisms and redox properties critical for biological signal transduction.
