Abstract: Single crystals of cadmium manganese thiocyanate, CdMn(SCN)4 (CMTC) have been successfully synthesized and grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique using water as solvent at room temperature. The crystal was characterized by different techniques for finding its suitability for device fabrications. From the single crystal XRD the crystal system was identified as tetragonal. The functional groups were identified from FTIR analysis. The optical studies have been carried out and found that the tendency of transmission observed from the specimen with respect to the wavelength of light is practically more suitable for the present trends in communication engineering. From the thermal analysis the decomposing temperature of the grown crystal is more significant when compared with the studies performed earlier.<br /> (Copyright © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
