Barium oxalate crystals were grown by agar-agar gel through the single diffusion technique. The tendency of barium oxalate crystals to cylindrical growth was demonstrated. The optimum growth conditions barium oxalate was achieved by controlling the parameters like, concentration of gel, concentration of reactants, aging period and reversing of reactants. The crystal structure of grown material was determined by X-ray diffraction technique and was found to be monoclinic with lattice parameters ‘a’ = 6.6562 Å, b = 8.0464 Å, c = 2.8090 Å, β= 96.832°, and V = 149.38 Å3. The FTIR spectrum indicates OH and carbonyl group along with the presence of metal-oxygen bond. Morphology of grown crystals, investigated by scanning electron microscopy, exhibited compact grains including small and large sizes. Since the grown crystals are transparent, they show strong absorption in the ultra violet region above 290 nm wavelength.
