In the present investigation,leadiodate crystals were grown in silica gel at ambient temperature. The effect of various parameters like gel concentration, pH of gel, gel ageing, concentration of the reactants on the growth of these crystals were studied. Good quality crystalshaving different morphologies and habitswere obtained.Some of Thesecrystals wereopaque and some were translucent
