Barium bis paranitrophenolate paranitrophenol tetrahydrate, a new semiorganic nonlinear optical single crystal has been grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique at room temperature of 30 deg. C. Crystal of dimensions of 29 mm x 11 mm x 5 mm was obtained in a period of 30 days. X-ray diffraction analysis reveal the newness of the crystal structure belonging to the orthorhombic class with lattice parameters a = 19.899(5) A, b = 28.019(8) A, c = 10.745(4) A and {alpha} = {beta} = {gamma} = 90{sup o}. The grown crystal is examined for its nonlinear optical nature with Kurtz powder technique after being sieved for particle sizes between 5 and 100 {mu}m and analyzed for its thermal and mechanical properties. The effective nonlinear optical coefficient being 16 times greater than that of KDP crystal, good thermal stability up to 120 deg. C with the Meyer's constant n < 2 helps fashion the crystal towards device geometry.
