Growth and characterization of organic single crystal benzyl carbamate

•Benzyl carbamate (8.8 cm) has been achieved by the vertical Bridgman technique.•Crystalline perfection of the crystals was confirmed by high resolution X-ray diffraction.•Crystallizing temperature was found out by differential scanning calorimetry analyses.

Benzyl carbamate single crystal is grown by a solution and vertical Bridgman technique for the first time. The cell parameters and morphologies are assessed from single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. High resolution X-ray diffraction analysis indicates the crystalline perfection of the grown benzyl carbamate crystal. Fourier Transforms Infrared spectroscopy study has been applied to arrive at the different functional groups. Thermo gravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry are used to study its thermal behavior. The microhardness test is carried out and the load dependent hardness is measured.
