Abstract: Single crystals of Cobalt Mercury Thiocyanate belonging to Semiorganic material with nonlinear optical properties have been grown in silica gel medium using gel growth technique. The grown Cobalt Mercury Thiocyanate were subjected to single crystal X-ray diffraction (SXRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to elucidate their lattice parameters and functional group confirmation. The dielectric studies at different temperatures and frequency applied are measured and their behavior is analyzed. The crystal exhibit second harmonic generation which was confirmed by the important Kurtz powder test. The crystals are thermally stable up to 280°C, which was analyzed by thermogravimetric and differential scanning Calorimetric analysis.
