Microhardness studies on the grown crystal were carried out using the Vickers microhardness tester to estimate the mechanical strength of the crystal. The FT-IR analysis ascertains the presence of a metal-sulphur bond in ATBM crystals. The thermal decomposition of ATBM crystals was investigated by means of thermogravimetric analysis. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011.FT-IR spectrumFTIR analysisGrown crystalsRoom temperatureSemiorganicSolution growth techniqueTGA/DTAVickers microhardness testerBromine compoundsMicrohardnessPyrolysisSulfurThermogravimetric analysisThioureasSingle crystals
