An optically high-quality single crystal of sodium mesitylene sulfonate crystal was successfully grown by a slow evaporation method using methanol as solvent at room temperature. Single-crystal XRD has characterized the material and belongs to a monoclinic structure with a C2 space group. Functional groups were determined using Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy. The optical quality of the generated crystal was evaluated using UV-Vis NIR spectral analysis, which is transparent in the range of 300-1500 nm. We report the optical properties using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) and THz generation using crystal.
