Abstract

Trifluoroacetyl Glycine (TFAG) Single crystal have been grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique. The presence of functional groups is identified by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analyses. UV–vis-NIR spectroscopy shows that minimum absorption in the entire visible region. The optical band gap (Eg) value of the grown crystal is obtained from the Tauc’s plot also transparency, band gap, extinction coefficient and the refractive index were calculated. The mechanical properties have been studied by vicker’s microhardness test.
