Following the temperature reduction method, growth of single crystals of organic 2,6‐dibenzylidenecyclohexanone (DBCH) material from ethanol solution is reported in the present work. Solubility and metastable zone width measurements were carried out under stirring and nonstirring conditions of solution. Cell dimensions were obtained from single crystal X‐ray diffraction study. From FT‐IR spectral analysis, various functional groups of this crystal were identified. UV‐Visible spectral analysis was made. Mechanical strength of the grown crystal was estimated on the prominent (110) face using a Vickers microhardness tester. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
