Graphical abstract: - Highlights: • Semiorganic NLO material NaB(L-C{sub 4}H{sub 4}O{sub 5}){sub 2} has been grown with sizes up to 8 × 5 × 2 mm{sup 3}. • It crystallizes in the noncentrosymmetric Monoclinic space group P2. • Thermal analysis demonstrated NaB(L-C{sub 4}H{sub 4}O{sub 5}){sub 2} are thermally stable up to 280. • NaB(L-C{sub 4}H{sub 4}O{sub 5}){sub 2} has an absorption edge about 220 nm in the UV region. • It exhibits a NLO efficiency of about two times that of KDP (KH{sub 2}PO{sub 4}) standard. - Abstract: Single crystal of the semiorganic NLO material NaB(L-C{sub 4}H{sub 4}O{sub 5}){sub 2} has been grown with sizes up to 8 × 5 × 2 mm{sup 3} by the slow evaporation method. The crystal structure of this compound was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in the Monoclinic space group P2 with lattice parameters a = 5.4045(11) Å, b = 11.692(2) Å, c = 9.4773(19) Å and Z = 2. Thermal analysis demonstrated NaB(L-C{sub 4}H{sub 4}O{sub 5}){sub 2} are thermally stable up to 280 °C. NaB(L-C{sub 4}H{sub 4}O{sub 5}){sub 2} exhibits an absorption edge about 220 nm in the UV region. The powder second-harmonic generation (SHG) measurement performed on the ground crystal indicates that it has a NLO efficiency of about 2 times that of KDP (KH{sub 2}PO{sub 4}) standard. In addition, the origin of stronger SHG effect was discussed.
