Single crystals of intrinsic strontium L(+) tartrate (IST), Mg2+ doped strontium L(+) tartrate (MDST) and Zn2+ doped strontium L(+) tartrate (ZDST) are grown using gel diffusion reaction method. Optimum condition for crystal growth is established by varying gel density, gel pH, concentration and matrix of supernatant solutions. EDAX analysis is made to measure stoichiometric composition and cationic distribution of the grown crystals. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Laser Raman spectral studies unveil various functional groups in the grown crystals. Thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) reveal decomposition behavior of the crystals for the temperature range of 30-1000oC. IST, MDST and ZDST crystals inborn with chemical formulae SrC4H4O6.5H2O, Sr0.9987Mg0.0013C4H4O6.5H2O and Sr0.9929Zn0.0071C4H4O6.5H2O respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
