Non- linear optical crystals have a great impact on information technology and industrial applications.The present paper deals with the growth and characterization of Semicarbozidehydrocloride adipate (SCHA). An organic non-linear optical material of SCHA was synthesized ethanol as a solvent .The single crystals were grown by slow evaporation technique at room temperature. The cell dimensions obtained by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies reveal that the crystal belongs to the orthorhombic system. The occurrence of prospective functional groups was initially identified by FTIR and FT-Raman spectroscopic studies. The optical transparency of the crystals was determined by UV- Visible studies in the wavelength range of 200-1200 nm. Second harmonic generation conversion efficiency found using the Kurtz and Perry method is about 4.2 times that of KDP. The thermal stability of the compound was determined by TG-DTA analysis of the specimen. The microhardness test was carried out and the load dependent hardness was measured.
