Comparison of physical properties of pure and doped new metal organic crystal Bisthiourea sodium nitrate (BTSN)

Single crystals of pure and Na⁺ doped Bisthiourea Sodium Nitrate (BTSN), semi organic crystal were grown by slow evaporation technique. The grown crystals were subjected to various studies such as single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–vis studies, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), TG–DTA, and Vickers's microhardness were also measured. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies reveal the crystals belong to orthorhombic crystallographic system. The mechanical property of the grown crystal was determined by microhardness studies.
