Abstract

L-tyrosine hydrochloride have been synthesized by chemical route and grown as single crystals by slow evaporation method from a supersaturated solution prepared from the solvent of 2 Normal hydrochloride (HCl) at ambient temperature. In addition to the single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction analyses FTIR, FT-Raman, NMR spectral analyses also have been done to study the structural properties. Linear and nonlinear optical characteristics have been studied by using UV-Visible spectral analysis and Kurtz Perry powder technique respectively. The second harmonic generation conversion efficiency of the grown crystal has been confirmed by the emission of green light. Thermo gravimetric (TG), Differential thermal analysis (DTA) and differential scanning calorimetric studies have also been employed to study the thermal behavior of the crystal sample and reported in this paper..
