“…Recently it has been noted that bromo-substituted derivatives of chalcones exhibit extremely high and fast nonlinearity (Fichou et al, 1988;Zhang et al, 1990;Zhao et al, 2000), and show preferences to crystallize as non-centrosymmetric structures. For this reason, they have been the objective of several experimental and theoretical studies, aimed mainly at the determination of their crystal structures (Sathiya Moorthi, Chinnakali, Nanjundan, Radhika et al, 2005;Sathiya Moorthi, Chinnakali, Nanjundan, Santhi et al, 2005;Sathiya Moorthi, Chinnakali, Nanjundan, Selvam et al, 2005;Sathiya Moorthi, Chinnakali, Nanjundan, Unnithan et al, 2005;Radha Krishna et al, 2005;Uchida et al, 1995). We report here the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound, (I).…”
