On the existence of 'L-asparagine cadmium chloride monohydrate' crystal

Abstract

It is argued that the nonlinear optical single crystal `l-asparagine cadmium chloride monohydrate' grown by the slow evaporation solution growth technique by Masilamani et al. (Optik, 123 (2012) 1304-1306) is actually the well-known l-asparagine monohydrate crystal.
