Bis(isothiocyanato)-bis(4-methylpyridine)zinc(II) (Zn(SCN)2(C)6H)7N))2) (abbreviated as ZBNC) single crystals of optical quality have been grown from acetone solution by the slow temperature-lowering method. Its solubilities at different temperatures in acetone were measured. The X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) spectroscopy of ZBNC crystal was performed at room temperature. The second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency was determined by powder technique of Kurtz and Perry using Nd:YAG laser, which is equivalent to KDP crystal. The thermal decomposition process was characterized by thermal gravity and differential thermal analysis (TG\DTA).
