In the present work, optically transparent Benzophenone doped with sodium acid phthalate (SAPB) single crystals were grown successfully by slow evaporation solution technique. Single crystal XRD analyses exposed that the crystal lattice of SAPB crystal is a monoclinic crystal system with unit cell parameters a = 6.77 Å, b = 9.31 Å, c = 13.58 Å, and space group B2cb. The crystalline nature of SAPB material was confirmed by powder XRD pattern. The functional groups present in the grown crystals were identified by the FTIR analysis ranging between 4000 and 500 cm^−1. The optical transparency and band gap of grown crystals were measured from UV-Visible spectroscopy. The fluorescence emission spectrum of the SAPB crystal having a strong Yellow emission peak at 574 nm and the red emission at 631 nm are identified. The Vickers microhardness number (H_v) increases with increasing load.
