Does thiosemicarbazide lead nitrate (TSLN) crystal exist?
R. Fernandes, Bikshandarkoil R. Srinivasan
The authors of a recent paper (Optik 125 (2014) 2022-2025) claim to have grown a so called thiosemicarbazide lead nitrate (TSLN) crystal by the slow evaporation method. In this com…
Comments on the papers recently published by Kalaivani et al
B. R. Srinivasan, K. U. Narvekar
We argue that the so-called l lysinium succinate (journal of crystal growth 426 (2015) 135), zinc chloride doped l lysinium succinate (journal of crystal growth 428 (2015) 24), and…
Comments on the paper: An extensive investigation on nucleation, growth parameters, crystalline perfection, spectroscopy, thermal, optical, microhardness, dielectric and SHG studies on potential NLO crystal Ammonium Hydrogen L-tartarte
Bikshandarkoil R. Srinivasan, V. S. Nadkarni
The authors of the title paper report to have grown ammonium hydrogen L-tartrate (1) by use of L-glutamine and L-tartaric acid in 1:1 mole ratio. Many points of criticism pertainin…
Comments on the paper: Synthesis growth and characterization of copper mercury thiocyanate crystal [Indian J Pure & App Phys 49 (2011) 340-343]
Bikshandarkoil R. Srinivasan
The unit cell parameters, infrared and UV-Vis spectral data reported in the paper by Vijayabhaskaran et al (Indian J Pure & App Phys 49 (2011) 340-343) cannot belong to the colourl…
Comments on the paper: Crystal growth and comparison of vibrational and thermal properties of semi-organic nonlinear optical materials
Bikshandarkoil R Srinivasan, Royle Fernandes
Gunasekaran et al (Pramana J. Phys. 75 683-690 (2010)) report to have grown the nonlinear optical crystals urea thiourea mercuric chloride (UTHC) and urea thiourea mercuric sulphat…
Does a glycine sodium nitrite crystal exist?
Kiran T. Dhavskar, Bikshandarkoil R. Srinivasan
The glycine sodium nitrite crystal reported by Khandpekar and Pati in the paper entitled, Synthesis and characterisation of glycine sodium nitrite crystals having non linear optica…
Comments on - Growth and characterization of organic nonlinear optical crystal: L-Valinium salicylate (LVS) [Optik 125 (2014) 2713-2715]
S. Natarajan, K. Moovendaran, B. R. Srinivasan
The slow evaporation of an aqueous solution containing L-valine and salicylic acid results in the fractional crystallization of salicylic acid and not any so called L-valinium sali…
Comments on the paper: Growth structural, spectral, optical and mechanical studies of gamma bis glycinium oxalate (GBGOx) new NLO single crystal by SEST method
Bikshandarkoil R. Srinivasan, Kiran T. Dhavskar
The authors of the title paper (Optik, 125 (2014) 1825-1828) claim to have synthesized a new nonlinear optical (NLO) gamma bis glycinium oxalate (GBGOx) crystal by slow evaporation…

we show that the pure and thiourea-doped glycyl-L-alanine hydrochloride (GLAH and TU-GLAH) crystals claimed to have been grown by the authors of the title paper (Journal of Russian…
On the existence of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) doped zinc sulphate heptahydrate crystal
Bikshandarkoil R. Srinivasan
It is argued that the ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) doped zinc sulphate heptahydrate crystal reported by Raja et al Spectrochim Acta 99A (2012) 23 is the well known zinc s…
Comments on the paper: Structural, optical properties and effect of amino acid on growth of KDP crystals
Bikshandarkoil R. Srinivasan, K. R. Priolkar
The L-arginine mixed potassium dihydrogenphosphate (KDP) crystal reported by Saravanan et al Indian J Pure App Phys 51 (2013) 254, is a dubious crystal. The reported unit cell para…
