✦ Synopsis

We discuss different methods to grow organic single crystalline thin films from solution. Specifically, we address exploratory developments and apply them on the highly nonlinear material DAST (4 -dimethylamino-N-methyl-4-stilbazolium tosylate) in a DAST/methanol system. We describe the nucleation and growth thermodynamics in solution using a solubility diagram and its Ostwald-Meiers metastable region. The important experimental parameters for bidimensional growth are discussed and first promising results are presented.

## Abstract For second‐order nonlinear optics, a supramolecularly ordered non‐centrosymmetric structure is required. Additionally, well‐ordered organic semiconducting thin films possess superior electronic properties compared to their amorphous counterparts. Herein, we firstly highlight that the de
