✦ Synopsis
Single crystals of K 2 Ln(NO 3 ) 5 ' 2H 2 O (Ln ؍ La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm) (KLnN) were grown by evaporation in aqueous solution under constant temperature conditions. The structure of KPrN was determined from the single-crystal X-ray di4raction data. The KPrN crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Fdd2 with parameters a ؍ 21.411(3) A s , b ؍ 11.2210(10) A s , c ؍ 12.208(2) A s , Z ؍ 6, V ؍ 2933.0(7) A s 3 , R ؍ 0.0240, R w ؍ 0.0603. The powder second harmonic generation (SHG) intensities of KLnN (Ln ؍ La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm) are also studied. The results demonstrate that their SHG intensities are 4+9 times larger than that of KDP, in which the KPrN shows the highest SHG coe7cient.
