Synthesis, growth, crystal structure and characterization of a new organic material: Glycine glutaric acid

Glycine glutaric acid, a new organic compound has been synthesized and good quality single crystals were grown by slow evaporation technique. The structure of the grown crystal was elucidated by using single crystal XRD. The presence of the functional groups was confirmed by using FT-IR spectroscopy. The optical transparency was studied by using UV-vis spectrophotometer and it was found that the crystal is having high optical transparency. The thermal stability of the crystal was studied by using thermo-gravimetric and differential thermal analyses and found that it is stable up to 150 degrees C. The room temperature dielectric studies were also carried out over the wide frequency range: 10 mHz to 10 MHz. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
