“…Organic materials were first suggested as indirect radiation detectors for higher energy photons (e.g., X‐ and gamma‐rays) and particles (e.g., neutrons) in the early 1960s, when the primary interest in these materials was on their scintillating properties . They are presently widely used as scintillators in the indirect detection approach (Figure a), in the long‐known form of molecules dispersed in either liquids or in plastic matrices, or as polycrystalline material …”

Organic single crystals (OSCs) have ideal qualities (well defi ned structure and\ud morphology, lack of grain boundaries, high purity, 3D long range order, good\ud electronic transport properties) for several technological applications, in particular\ud as key components for electronic devices. It is only recently that OSCs\ud have been considered as ionizing radiation detectors, and the latest developments\ud in this fi eld are here reported. In the fi rst section, various methods for\ud OSC growth are described, with emphasis on cost-effective, solution-based\ud approaches capable of delivering large volume, well performing crystals. The\ud second section is focused on the use of solution-grown OSCs as scintillators\ud (i.e., as high energy photon to UV–vis photon conversion), highlighting\ud the ability of cm-scale OSCs to effectively detect neutrons and to carry out\ud neutrons-gamma pulse-shape discrimination tasks. Finally, the third section\ud describes the use of semiconducting, solution-grown OSCs as effective\ud solid state direct detectors (i.e., directly converting high energy photons into\ud charge carriers), evidencing extremely promising performances in terms of\ud operability in environmental conditions (i.e., no need for encapsulation),\ud radiation hardness, linear response and low operating voltage
