GROWTH, CHARACTERIZATION OF Mn(II) DOPED Zn(II) L-HISTIDINE HYDROCHLORIDE MONOHYDRATE COMPLEX CRYSTALS

Abstract

Mn(II) ions are incorporated in Zn(II)L-Histidine hydrochloride crystals by doping. Crystals are grown by using the technique of slow evaporation from aqueous solutions at room temperature. Thus developed crystals are characterized by powder X-Ray diffraction, EPR, FTIR, UV-VIS and Vicker's microhardness studies.
