The grown crystals were transparent and pink in color. The Accepted 6 July 2015 solubility study has been carried out in the temperature range 30–50 ◦ C in de-ionized water. The lattice parameters of the grown crystals were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction technique and Keywords: the crystalline nature of the grown crystal was confirmed by powder XRD analysis. The presence of the Crystal growth functional groups in the crystal lattice was confirmed by Fourier Transform Infra Red spectral analysis. Characterization The UV–vis-NIR spectrum of MST shows good transmittance in the visible region which enables it to X-ray diffraction Microhardness
