SYNTHESIS, GROWTH AND CHARACTERIZATION OF Mg DOPED LAHC SINGLE CRYSTALS

Single crystals of Mg doped L Alanine Hydrogen chloride (Mg doped LAHC) have been synthesized. The synthesized material has been purified by repeated recrystallization process. Single crystals were grown by slow evaporation method. The spectroscopic techniques namely, Fourier Transform InfraRed (FTIR), UV - VIS - NIR were used to study the properties of the crystals. The structural and lattice parameters determination was done by X - ray diffraction. The thermal stability studies were carried out. The thermoanalytical parameters like activation energy, entropy for activation and Arrh enius pre exponential factor needed for a chemical reaction were found using Coats - Redfern method.
