The CCA compound was synthesized by taking Chloroacetic acid and Copper Carbonate in the molar ratio 1:1. Both materials were Analytical reagent grade (AR). The synthesis and growth process was carried out using double distilled water. The Copper Chloroacetate solution was used to grow crystal from slow evaporation method at room temperature. The seed crystal was grown within week. The unit cell parameters were determined using single crystal X-ray diffractometer which reveals that CCA crystal have monoclinic system. The spectral analysis carried out using the FTIR spectroscopy shows the presence of functional groups. Optical studies show that the grown crystal has lower cut-off wavelength at 320nm. Thermal behavior of the crystal were carried out employing TG/DTA techniques, establish that the crystal has thermal stability up to 460ºC. The grown crystal has low value of dielectric permittivity and dielectric loss for higher frequencies at different temperatures. Vickers microhardness analysis carried out on the material suggests that the material belongs to soft material category according to Mayer’s index number (n).&#13;
