Highly oriented, multilayer molecular films of picene and dinaphtho[2,3- b :2',3'- f ]thieno[3,2- b ]thiophene (DNTT) molecules with the long axis parallel to the substrate (parallel configuration, hereafter) were fabricated on their characteristic bulklike monolayer. These molecules form a dense monolayer with a bulklike molecular arrangement on metal surfaces such as Au(111), which allows further stacking of parallel molecules. Indeed, upon adsorption of picene and DNTT on these dense monolayers, growth of straight islands of multilayer without the dendritic layer was observed. Particularly, in the case of picene, one-dimensional islands with lengths over 100 μm were formed and aligned in 3-fold symmetric directions of the substrate, which was not observed in the case of DNTT. X-ray diffraction measurements revealed the presence of [201̅] and [211̅] planes and the absence of the [001] diffractions, indicating that the one-dimensional islands of picene indeed consist of parallel molecules. The formation of huge crystalline islands in the case of picene, in contrast to the case of DNTT, is likely induced by the stronger intermolecular force, as suggested from the calculation of the vibrational energy.
