Growth and characterization of bis-glycine sodium nitrate (BGSN), a novel semiorganic nonlinear optical crystal
It is argued that the conclusion of the authors of the title paper on obtaining of a new crystal bis-glycine sodium nitrate is erroneous. From an aqueous solution containing 2 glycine+NaNO3 the authors actually have obtained earlier known crystals: glycine (alpha form) and glycine sodium nitrate. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
