In the crystallographic literature, there is an ever-increasing number of publications on crystals that are referred to as 'new non-linear optical materials', many of them reporting salts of amino acids. However, the term NLO material is used improperly in most cases. In fact, the establishment of any crystal species as such a material requires several experimental and computational procedures, which are seldom satisfied when characterizing a supposedly new species. Here, some frequent hazards and problems are addressed and observations of papers reporting amino acid compounds as supposedly new NLO materials are made. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
