Metal–organic coordination complex single crystals bis thiourea zinc acetate (BTZA) and Cd2+ doped BTZA have been synthesized and grown successfully by slow-cooling technique from their aqueous solutions. Single crystals of pure and Cd2+ doped BTZA with dimensions of 35 × 4 × 2 mm3 and 10 × 5 × 6 mm3, respectively were obtained with well defined morphology. The as grown single crystals are characterized by single crystal XRD studies and melting point measurements which reveal the incorporation of metallic dopants has not changed the structure of the parent crystal. The powder X-ray diffractogram of the grown crystals has been recorded and the various planes of reflection identified shows shift in the peak positions. The metal coordination with thiourea through sulphur in pure and Cd2+ doped BTZA were ascertained by FTIR studies and optical absorption study to identify the UV cut-off range. The presence of metals in pure and Cd2+ doped BTZA crystal lattice were confirmed by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The thermal decomposition of pure and Cd2+ doped BTZA crystals were investigated by thermo gravimetric analyses (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) indicate that doped crystals are more stable than pure crystals. The dielectric response of the crystals were studied in the frequency range 100 Hz–5 MHz at different temperatures and the results are discussed. Second harmonic generation (SHG) measurement confirms that the pure and Cd2+ doped BTZA have nonlinear optical (NLO) property. Laser damage threshold value of 12.44 MW/cm2 has been determined using Q-switched Nd:YAG laser operating at 1064 nm and with 8 ns pulses in single shot mode for pure BTZA single crystal is reported for the first time.
