Synthesis, growth and characterization of Bis thiourea sodium nitrate with Kcl single crystals

Single crystals of Bis thiourea sodium nitrate(BTSN) doped with Kcl have been grown in a period of three weeks from solution by slow evaporation method at room temperature. The solubility study was carried out at various temperatures ranging from 35-550C in aqueous solution. Grown crystals were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction,Powder X-ray Diffraction and FT-IR technique. The range and percentage of optical transmission were ascertained by recording UV-Vis-NIR spectrum. Its mechanical behaviour was estimated by Vickers Microhardness test.
