Synthesis, structure and spectroscopic investigations of a metal-organic crystal: Thiourea silver nitrate for optical devices

A metal-organic crystal, thiourea silver nitrate (TUAgN) was synthesized by conventional chemical route at room temperature. Powder X-ray diffraction showed the crystalline property of the material. The estimated cell parameters from the prominent planes results in tetragonal crystal system of the titled material. Various vibrational and polarizational modes were completely discussed by FT-Infrared and Confocal Raman analysis. Chemical components present in the crystal were further confirmed with NMR spectral studies.
