Abstract: 
Single crystals of Sodium Hydrogen L-Tartrate Monohydrate (SHTM) were grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique using deionized water as solvent. The grown crystal was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The presence of the functional groups was identified by FTIR measurement. The thermal property of the grown crystal was studied by TG-DTA analysis. The dielectric behavior of the crystal was investigated with different frequencies and temperatures. The Vicker’s micro hardness test was also carried out to test the mechanical stability and the hardness parameters are determined.
