Abstract
A novel nonlinear optical semiorganic single crystal of lhistidine methyl ester dihydrochloride was grown by slow evaporation solution growth method at an ambient temperature The grown crystal was characterized by single crystal Xray diffraction Functional groups and the modes of vibrations were identified by FT–IR spectroscopy The chemical composition of the crystal was confirmed by Energy dispersive Xray analysis The optical behavior of the crystal was examined by UV spectral analysis which shows the absence of absorption between the wavelengths ranging from 230 to 1000 nm The optical band gap of the grown crystal was estimated and is found to be 535 eV The thermal behavior of the crystal was investigated by thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses The nonlinear optical property of the grown crystal was confirmed by the powder technique of Kurtz and Perry
