Abstract
A new mixed alkali phthale single crystal namely Di-lithium Di-phthalate (DLDP) were crystallized for the first time and is being reported here. The crystal forms in a monoclinic system with a centrosymmetric space group having the unit cell parameters; a= 17.037(5) Å, b= 5.134(5) Å, and c=21.398(5) Å and α = 90.000(5) °, β = 113.195(5) °, and γ = 90.000(5) ° with Z= 2. 

Spectroscopic measurements such as Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), UV-Vis-NIR analyses were carried out to confirm the functional groups and its optical transmittance. Thermal measurement reveals the stable nature of the compound. Thus wide transparency in the visible region and its centrosymmetric nature favours these crystals for its use as harmonic generators in third order regime. The obtained results have been discussed in detail.
