The　crystalline　habit,　solubility　and　metastable　zone　of　trans-stilbene　(TSB)　in　organic　solvents　had　been　observed　and　measured.　TSB　crystal　were　grown　from　the　corresponding　solutions　by　temperature　reduction　technique　within　50-30℃,　and　the　centimeter-size　crystals　obtained　had　high　transparency.　The　measurements　of　the　XRD　and　the　UV-NIR　transmission,　absorption　and　UV　fluorescence　spectra　of　the　crystal　show　that　the　alternation　of　the　growth　solvents　doesn＇t　lead　any　effect　on　the　crystal　structure　property,　the　transmittance　of　the　crystal　is　more　than　80%　in　the　wavelength　range　of　410-1000　nm,　but　there　is　absorption　in　the　range　of　200-360　nm,　and　a　strong　fluorescence　emission　peak　appears　at　386　nm　by　the　action　of　exciting　light　of　272.8　nm　on　the　crystal.　©　2017,　Chinese　Ceramic　Society.　All　right　reserved.
