Abstract
Growth aspects of bis(thiourea) cadmium chloride (BTCC) single crystals has been investigated. The crystals were grown from aqueous solution by slow cooling technique. The effect of pH on the growth rate and morphology has been discussed. The results indicated that as the pH of the solution is decreased the growth rate along the a-direction,
increased and at a pH below 1, the morphology of the crystals changes from hexagonal to rectangular. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies confirm the structure. Fourier transform infrared analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis confirms the presence of sulfur to cadmium bonds in the complex.
