Abstract
The growth of single crystals of acetoacetanilide using slow evaporation te chnique is reported, Good-quality crystals up to a size of 20 x 10 x 1 mm(3 ) are obtained. The grown crystals are characterized by employing UV-VIS sp ectrum, IR spectrum, and hardness measurements. Acetoacetanilide shows very good second-harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency.
