We present the results of photoemission electron microscopy investigations on diindenoperylene (DIP) thin films deposited on polycrystalline gold, prepared in order to have a roughness much larger than the molecular size. Our investigations revealed the ability of the DIP molecule to form well-organized films, exhibiting a different molecular orientation with respect to the already known lambda and sigma phases. In locally thicker film regions, the energy of the films is minimized by a molecular arrangement that has an asymptotic tendency to the sigma phase.
