Characterization Of A Crystal Grown From Ocimum Basilicum Leaves And Branches

Leaves and branches of Ocimum Basilicum were dried, reduced to coarse powder and extracted in aqueous metanol and aqueous hexane. This paper discusses the X-ray diffraction and FT-Raman spectra measured at room temperature. The data obtained have been used to propose a general assignment of the vibrational fundamentals on the base of frequencies assigned in other related single crystals. From the results we can conclude that the crystal has a high symmetry. (C) 2004 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
