Abstract

Thiourea single crystals were grown from sulphuric acid solution by solvent evaporation technique. The structure of the crystals is identified as orthorhombic by single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. The molecular structure with functional group and band absorption spectrum are observed by using FTIR and UV-Vis spectrometer respectively. The mechanical hardness is performed on the grown crystals by Vicker’s microhardness study and the results reveal that the crystals are mechanically hard..
