title: Spectroscopic and physicochemical studies on organic crystal of brucine hydrogen maleate pentahydrate.
abstract: Salt of brucine hydrogen maleate pentahydrate was synthesized and grown as a single crystal by slow evaporation solution growth technique. The cell parameters of the grown crystal were calculated from powder XRD. The presence of the functional groups and the nature of the vibrations were identified in vibrational studies. The decomposition character of the title material was studied by recording TGA/DTA. The way of promotion of electron from ground state to higher energy state was premeditated by recording UV-VIS-NIR spectrum also the mechanical behaviour was deliberated in hardness measurement.
