The crystalline material of acenaphthene picrate (ACP) was synthesized and the single crystals of the title compound grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique. The solubility of the complex compound was estimated using different solvents as chloroform, ethanol, (1:1) chloroform - acetone mixture. The material was characterized through elemental analysis; powder XRD, NMR and FTIR techniques. The various planes of reflection have been identified from the XRD powder pattern. The formation of the charge transfer complex was confirmed by UV-VIS spectroscopy. The thermal stability of the crystals was studied using TG/DTA analyses techniques. The second harmonic generation (SHG) of the material was confirmed by using Nd: YAG laser.
