XRD and spectroscopy analyzes of 4-acetamidophenol grown by single diffusion gel method

Another name of 4-acetamidophenol is popularly known as the paracetamol. It was considered as one of the safest and most frequently used analgesic and antipyretic drug all over the world. This medicinal important drug compound was grown by the single diffusion gel method for the first time to improve the quality of the crystal. The harvested crystals are analyzed by powder XRD, FT−IR and UV−Visible spectroscopy studies. The powder XRD study confirms the crystallite compound of 4-acetamidophenol by comparing 2θ and d-spacing values of the compound with JCPDS values of the same compound. The functional groups present in the molecule and their wavenumber assignments were made in the FT−IR spectroscopy study. The optical band gap and the transparency of the grown crystals are found by using the UV−Visible spectroscopy study.
