Solubility and metastable zonewidth were estimated for p-Bromoacetanilide. Employing slow evaporation method crystals of size 22x17x6 mm3 and 38x25x10 mm3 were grown at a constant temperature of 40°C and room temperature respectively from methanol solution. The cell dimensions were obtained by single crystal X-ray diffraction study. The placement of protons was identified from NMR spectral analysis. UV-Visible and fluorescence spectral analyses were carried out for the grown crystals. Vickers microhardness test was performed on the prominent (110) of the as grown crystal. Thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimetric studies were carried out to determine the thermal properties of the grown crystal.
