Growth, spectroscopy properties and DFT based PCM calculations of guanidinium chlorochromate.

Nonlinear optical single crystals of guanidinium chlorochromate [GCC] are grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique using water as the solvent. Purity of crystals is increased by the method of recrystallization. The solubility of the material is measured at various temperatures in de-ionized water.
