Growth and Characterization of Glycine single crystal by addition of Aluminum Chloride

In this work, growth of single glycine crystal with the addition of aluminium chloride, using a slow evaporation process. In this study, glycine is doped into 0.8M% of aluminium chloride. The semi-organic single crystal glycine doped with aluminium chloride has been produced at a constant temperature of 36°C. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) is used for verifying the crystalline nature and alpha phase of doped glycine that contains aluminium chloride. The thermal stability and thermal decomposition of the sample was studied by thermo gravimetric/differential thermo analytical method. Using the UV-absorption spectrum, the optical transmittance window and lower cutoff wavelength have been examined.
