“…[23] As ar esult, hydrated ionic co-crystals between l-proline and LiCl, LiBr, SrCl 2 ,C aCl 2 (1:1 stoichiometry amino acid:salt) have been synthesized in solution, characterized and investigated as second order non-linear optical materials. [23,24] Anhydrousi onic co-crystals between l-proline and LiCl, LiBr,C aCl 2 (stoichiometry 2:1 amino acid:salt) have also been reporteda sm etal-organic materials. [25] Coordinationo fr acemic proline to am etal centre has not been extensively investigated, and only two solids containing ZnCl 2 and CaCl 2 are known (LUPTEV [25f] and WOCPUB, [26] respectively).…”
