Growth, spectral and thermal properties of manganous malonate dihydrate crystals

Abstract

Manganous malonate dihydrate crystals have been grown by ionic diffusion in hydrosilica gel. Powder XRD pattern and the FTIR spectrum have been recorded for the sample. The vibrational bands corresponding to various functional groups are identified. Thermogravimetric studies have been done to explore the nature of the material as regards thermal decomposition. © 2012 IACS.
