The dielectric constant, loss tangent, a.c. conductivity and a.c. activation energy were measured with variation of frequency in the range 50 Hz to 1 MHz. Dielectric s tudies reveal that the present crystal under investigation show good optical quality. The melting point and final compound after decomposition were determined using the DTA/TG analysis. Keywords: Dielectric constant, loss tangent, TG, DTA 1. INTRODUCTION The maleates are of practical importance because of their use as coatings with specific properties, efficient catalysts and are also of medicinal significance. Dielectric characteristics of organo-metallic crystals are of increasing importance as the field of solid state electronics continues to expand rapidly. For these applications the properties of most concern are the dielectric constant, loss tangent and a.c. conductivity. N
