This paper reports a potential new organic crystal materials MHBA whose cut-off wavelength is 370nm and powder SHG intensity is 30 times higher than that of Urea. The crystal structure, single crystal growth, linear and nonlinear optical properties of MHBA are reported in detail. MHBA crystal belongs to monoclinic system; space group is P21, and the unit cell parameters are: a=14.057Å, b=7.875Å, c=15.037Å and β=115.45°. The nonlinear susceptibilities are: d11=25.0d36KDP, d12=10d36KDP, d13=33.3d36KDP and d14=8.3d36KDP.
