The scattering of focused beams of hexapole‐oriented t‐BuCl and CHF3 molecules from a graphite (0001) surface has been studied over the surface temperature range 165 < Ts<730 K. The detected number densities of the surface‐scattered beams are compared for parallel vs antiparallel incident orientation of the molecular dipole with respect to the surface normal. From the fractional difference in scattered signals, i.e., the so‐called steric effect, and from the scattering angular distributions of the unoriented molecules, the relative difference in scattering probabilities for opposite molecular orientations is obtained. For both molecules the magnitude of the relative difference in scattering (the steric effect) increases as Ts decreases. At the lowest surface temperature of 165 K the relative difference in scattering probability reaches +1.5 for t‐BuCl (and −0.8 for CHF3), approaching the largest possible magnitude of 2.0, as compared to +0.3 (and −0.4 for CHF3) at the highest temperatures. At all temperat...
