dc.description.abstract	The bivalent metals Cd(II) and Zn(II) exhibit different stereochemical requirements for the set of chloride and l-proline ligands, which precludes the doping of Zn(II) ions into the crystal structure of dichloro(l-proline)cadmium(II) hydrate also referred to as l-proline cadmium chloride monohydrate (L-PCCM). Hence, the reported claim of growth of zinc doped L-PCCM crystals namely Zn(0.4mol):LPCCM and Zn(0.2mol):LPCCM by Vetrivel et al. (S. Vetrivel, P. Anandan, K. Kanagasabapathy, S. Bhattacharya, S. Gopinath, R. Rajasekaran, Effect of zinc chloride on the growth and characterization of l-proline cadmium chloride monohydrate semiorganic NLO single crystals, Spectrochim. Acta 110A (2013) 317-323), is untenable.	en_US
