A semiorganic crystal of Boricacid potassium acetate has been grown by low temperature solution growth technique at room temperature using deionized water as a solvent. The crystalline nature of the compound was confirmed by the sharp and well defined peaks observed from the powder X-ray diffraction pattern. By single crystal X-ray diffraction method, the structure of the grown crystal has been studied. The Boric acid Potassium Acetate (BAPA) crystal has good optical transmittance in the entire UV visible region. FT-IR and FT-Raman spectral studies were performed to identify the vibrations of functional groups. The mechanical strength of the grown crystal was determined by Vicker's micro hardness test. Photoluminescence study was carried out on the crystal. The SHG study represents the nonlinear optical efficiency of the crystal.

The inhibition of corrosion of Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate and the synergistic effect with Zn 2+ taking place on the surface of carbon steel in well water medium were studied using mass reduction technique, cyclic voltammetry (CV), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), FTIR and Contact Angle measurement. The effects showed that there is a protective layer formed on the surface of carbon steel and also that the protective layer is stable even in presence of 3.5% sodium chloride solution. This confirms that there was a formation of self-assembled monolayer on the surface of the carbon steel and there was a synergistic effect occurs among Zn 2+ and Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate.

Zinc Magnesium Sulphate single crystal has been grown from an organic solution by slow evaporation method at room temperature. Good quality transparent crystals were harvested within 25 days. FT Raman analysis confirms the vibrational modes of the compound crystal and the presence of expected functional groups. These crystals were subjected to TG-DSC analysis and its thermal stability was determined. Dielectric studies show the dielectric behavior of the title compound crystal.
