You mean f(t+T/2) = -f(t)

In other words, since it seems your "only even harmonics"
[ please note the "h" in the English word, by the way ] 
does not include the fundamental, you're saying you have 
a function of the form 

g(t) = a_1 cos(2 pi t /T - phi_0)
      + sum_k a_{2k} cos(4 pi k t/T - phi_{2k})

Then 
g(t) - g(t+T/2) = 2 a_1 cos(2 pi t/T - phi_0)
      
is a pure sinusoid of period T.  If g is twice differentiable,

g"(t) - g"(t+T/2) = (2 pi/T)^2 (g(t) - g(t+T/2))
