Pentacene, showing one of the highest charge carrier mobilities among organic semi-conductors, is known to crystallize in at least four polymorphs, which can be distinguished by their layer periodicity d(001). Only two polymorphs grow as single crystals, and their detailed crystal structure has been solved. The substrate-induced 15.4 Å polymorph is the most relevant for OTFT applications; however, its crystal structure has remained incomplete as it only grows as a fiber structured thin film. In this work, the crystal truncation rod X-ray scattering technique is extended to fiber structured thin films. Through this novel technique, the complete crystal structure of this polymorph grown on technologically relevant substrates could be solved. It was also discovered, that the molecular arrangement within the unit cell is substrate dependent, which may lead to a controlled fine-tuning of intrinsic charge transport properties.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stefan Schiefer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3836493632\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783836493635\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/23\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.35d","brand":"Stefan Schiefer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47305558687999,"sku":"9783836493635","price":73.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_79b01988-cab0-4be8-ab39-10d5390f0789.jpg?v=1758831217","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/crystal-structure-of-fiber-structured-stefan-schiefer-9783836493635","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
