A new nonlinear optical single crystal of Guanidinium Propionate (GP) has been grown from the aqueous solution by slow evaporation method. Orthorhombic structure with Pbca space group was confirmed by single crystal XRD. The crystal packing is identified to the stabilized through three dimensional hydrogen bonding network between cation and anion N–H∙∙∙O hydrogen bonds leading to three ring motifs viz. R₁²(4), R₂¹(6) and R₂¹(6). The grown crystals were characterized by thermal, mechanical, dielectric and optical studies. The third order nonlinear optical properties such as nonlinear absorption coefficient, nonlinear refractive index and susceptibility were calculated by Z-scan technique.

通过缓慢蒸发法从水溶液中生长了一种新型的丙酸胍金属盐（GP）非线性光学单晶。通过单晶XRD证实具有Pbca空间群的正交结构。通过阳离子和阴离子N–H∙∙∙O氢键之间的三维氢键网络，可以确定晶体填充物是否稳定，从而形成三个环基序。R ₁ ²（4），R ₂ ¹（6）和R ₂ ¹（6）。通过热，机械，介电和光学研究来表征生长的晶体。利用Z扫描技术计算了非线性吸收系数，非线性折射率和磁化率等三阶非线性光学性质。
