Synthesis, growth, structural and optical behaviour of L-leucinium tartrate single crystal
摘要
L-leucinium tartrate salt was newly synthesized by mixing L-leucine and tartaric acid in a 1:1 molar ratio. A highly transparent single crystal of L-leucinium tartrate (LLT) was grown by slow evaporation solution technique. After the growth period of 32 days, the grown crystal was harvested for analysis. Single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the grown LLT crystal belongs to a monoclinic structure with the space group P1. The presence of functional groups in the grown crystal was identified by the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer in the range of 400–4000 cm
