Growth and characterization of nearly perfect lithium para nitrophenolate nonlinear optical single crystal

There has been considerable interest in the synthesis of semi organic NLO materials recently with excellent second order optical nonlinearities. Perfect single crystals are essential for fair device performance. Single crystals of title compound were grown by slow evaporation method. The perfection of the grown crystal has been studied by the high resolution x-ray diffraction method. NMR spectral analysis has been studied. NLO properties and thermal properties were found by Kurtz powder Technique and TG/DTA analyses respectively.
