Some　organic　solvents　like　cyclopentanone,　cyclohexanone　and　ethyl　benzoate　were　firstly　selected　based　on　the　selection　principle　of　crystal-growth　solvent,　solvent　characteristics　and　crystallization　experimental　data,　and　then　trans-stilbene　(TSB)　crystals　were　grown　in　these　solvents　by　a　solution　cooling　method,　respectively.　The　centimeter-sized　TSB　crystal　with　a　proper　transparency　were　obtained.　The　effect　of　solvent　type　on　the　growth　morphology,　growth　habit　and　integrity　of　TSB　crystals　was　investigated.　The　results　show　that　these　solvents　are　less　poisonous　than　the　used　solvents　like　benzene　methyl　ether　and　toluene,　and　more　suitable　for　the　growth　of　TSB　crystal　blocks,　the　cross-sections　of　the　crystals　obtained　in　two　cyclic　ketones　are　hexagonal,　while　those　in　ethyl　benzoate　are　parallelograms,　and　the　optimal　growth　temperature　range　and　the　type　of　macro-defects　appeared　in　growth　period　are　varying　due　to　the　solvent　difference.　©　2018,　Editorial　Department　of　Journal　of　the　Chinese　Ceramic　Society.　All　right　reserved.
