Abstract
The paper reports the preparation and spectroscopic studies of lead malonate crystals. The sample is grown by single diffusion gel technique employing sodium metasilicate. X-ray diffraction pattern of the sample reveals the crystalline nature. From diffuse reflectance spectroscopy studies, the band gap of the material is determined. The FTIR and FT Raman spectra of the grown crystals are recorded and the vibrational assignments have been made with possible explanations. The photoluminescence property of the title compound is also investigated.
