Abstract

Single crystals of tris(thiourea)silver(I) nitrate have been grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique from an aqueous solution at 25 °C. The single crystal X-ray diffraction study reveals that the crystal belongs to tetragonal system and cell parameters are a = b = 14.2790(4) Å, c = 24.8900(7) Å, and V = 5074.8(2) Å3. The various functional groups present in the molecule are confirmed by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The structure and the crystallinity of the materials were further confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction analysis. Thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis reveal the purity of the sample and no decomposition is observed up to the melting point. The crystal is further characterized by UV–Vis and Vickers microhardness analysis.
