O crystal were analyzed by FT–IR spectrum. The mechanical strength and the luminescence response of the crystal have been tested by Vicker’s microhardness and photoluminescence study. The chemical stability was presented by HOMO–LUMO energy values. The intermolecular interaction is evident from the 3

The second harmonic generation of the borate hydrated structure material KBOH has been accomplished by Kurtz–Perry technique, and third-order nonlinear optical parameters Nonlinear Refractive Index NLR, Nonlinear Absorption Coefficient and third order susceptibility (
