Exploring the Influence of FeSO 4 on the Structural and Thermal Properties of Sulphamic Acid Single Crystals

This is the first study to look at how compositional instability causes line broadening of powder X-ray diffraction peaks in ferrous sulphate-doped sulphamic acid (SA) crystals. Single crystals of pure and FeSO 4 -doped sulphamic acid (FeSO 4 SA) were grown at room temperature using the slow evaporation method. Williamson–hall and size strain plot approaches were among the techniques employed in this study. Adding ferrous sulphate to pure SA crystals causes an anisotropic strain, according to the findings. Powder X-ray diffraction was used to examine the grown crystals' crystalline nature. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies confirm that pure and FeSO 4 -doped sulphamic acid crystals belong to the orthorhombic crystal system. Fourier transform infrared analysis was used to estimate the presence of ferrous sulphate in pure sulphamic acid. Doped crystal's thermal stability and decomposition temperature were found to be significantly improved.
