Abstract
Single crystals of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP) mixed with different mole concentrations of thiourea were grown using slow evaporation solution technique at 30°C. In order to study the effect of mixing thiourea on the structural characteristics of ADP, X-ray diffraction studies were carried out on the crystals using Shimadzu X-ray diffractometer with Cu Kα radiation. X-ray study revealed that the structures of the thiourea-mixed ADP are slightly distorted compared to the pure ADP crystal structure. Inclusion of thiourea enhances the growth of (1¯ 0 0) plane of the ADP crystal. Thiourea-mixed ADP crystals were found to have maximum inclusion, as the thiourea concentration was 10mol%.
