The growth of rubrene (C(42)H(28), 5,6,11,12-tetraphenylnaphthacene) multilayer islands up to a thickness of six layers on a Au(111) surface has been investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy. The molecules self-organize in parallel twin rows, forming mirror domains of defined local structural chirality. Each layer is composed of twin-row domains of the same structural handedness rotated by 120 degrees with respect to each other. Moreover, this structural chirality is transferred to all successive layers in the island, resulting in the formation of three-dimensional objects having a defined structural chirality. The centered rectangular surface unit cell differs from the one characteristic for the single-crystal orthorhombic phase.
通过扫描隧道显微镜研究了红荧烯（C₄₂H₂₈，5,6,11,12-四苯基萘并四苯）多层岛在Au(111)表面上生长至六层厚度的情况。分子自组装成平行的双行，形成具有确定局部结构手性的镜像畴。每层由结构手性相同的双行畴组成，这些双行畴彼此相对旋转120度。此外，这种结构手性传递到岛中的所有连续层，导致形成具有确定结构手性的三维物体。中心矩形表面晶胞不同于单晶正交相的特征晶胞。
