We present the results of photoemission electron microscopy investigations of diindenoperylene thin films deposited by organic molecular-beam deposition on polycrystalline gold at room temperature. Our findings revealed the existence of a different molecular orientation, besides the already known X and (T phases, characterized by an intermediate tilt angle. In thicker film regions, the energy of the films is minimized by a molecular arrangement that has an asymptotic tendency to the upright standing position. We have interpreted our results by using basic concepts in terms of relative strength of the substrate-molecule and molecule-molecule interactions.
