Abstract
L-asparagine L-tartaric acid single crystals of size 14 mm x 12 mm x 5 mm were grown. The morphology was recorded during its live growth process using inverted microscope. Structural confirmation of grown crystals was done by powder X-ray diffraction. The grown crystals are optically transparent. The Highest occupied molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy gap was obtained using the RHF/6-31G(d,p) and B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theoretical calculations. The dipole moment calculated by RHF is 5.1716 D and by B3LYP is 2.8302 D. The calculated gas phase polarizability is 16.63791 angstrom(3). (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
