The surface structure of a quasi-one-dimensional organic conductor b-~BEDT-TTF!2PF6 crystal @BEDTTTF is bis~ethylenedithio!-tetrathiafulvalene # was studied by scanning tunneling microscopy ~STM!. Twofold periodic modulation along the crystal axis was observed on the crystal a-c plane with a PF6 top layer, similarly as the previous result obtained for the surface with a BEDT-TTF top layer. With the analysis using high-resolution STM images including the second BEDT-TTF molecular layer, the surface superstructure was found to be formed by alternate missing rows of PF 6 molecules. To our knowledge, this is the first observation of an organic surface reconstruction involving such a drastic change in the molecular arrangement, which was comprehensively explained using a proposed model based on the charge balance in the surface layers. @S0163-1829 ~97!02408-9#
