DAST (1-methyl-4-{2-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]ethenyl} pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate) is a promising crystalline material for electro-optic applications and THz-wave generation. DAST powder for crystal growth was prepared by two synthesis routes including the conventional one and we confirmed that purity of DAST powder became indistinguishable after proper recrystallization even using conventional synthesis process. The highest solubility of DAST was found for methanol-acetonitrile mixture, and DAST crystal growth in this mixture or methanol-ethanol mixture gave thicker crystals than those grown in methanol. Thus, morphological control of DAST single crystals was found to be possible by varying solvents.
