Abstract
In the present investigation, pure cadmium levo-tartrate crystals were grown by single diffusion gel growth technique in silica hydro gel medium. Dendrite type pale yellow crystals were obtained. The powder XRD suggested the monoclinic nature of the grown crystals. The FTIR spectroscopy revealed the presence of water molecules, O-H, C-H, C-O and C=O functional groups.
