Analysis of Molecular Aggregation States in Pentacene Thin Films Prepared from Soluble Precursor.

Molecular packing structure in pentacene films prepared from the Afzali's precursor soluble in general organic solvents was characterized by in-plane grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD) measurements. The crystallographic ab plane of pentacene was parallel to the surface of a Si substrate. Crystal structure of pentacene near the substrate was identified as the thin-film phase.
