Abstract
ORIENTED intergrowth (epitaxy) of organic compounds has been reported in many hundreds of cases1. Although some examples seem to involve van der Waals forces exerting an orienting effect2, a more generalized description might be that on a solid surface anisotropic short-range forces can exist which will cause orientation of molecules on this surface.
