Correlating Morphology, Composition, and Optical Behaviour in Group IB and IIB Transition Metal Tartrate Crystals: An SEM–EDAX and UV Study.

Abstract

This study presents a systematic correlation between morphology, elemental composition, and optical behaviour of Group IB and IIB transition-metal tartrate crystals investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), and ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy. The combined results establish a strong interdependence between structural characteristics, chemical composition, and optical response, underscoring the significant role of transition metal ions in tailoring the physicochemical properties of tartrate crystals. These findings highlight the potential of such materials for applications in optical and other functional material systems.
