In a recent paper, we discussed the optical properties of a heterostructure consisting of a highly ordered monolayer of quaterrylene (QT), electronically decoupled from the gold substrate by a predeposited epitaxial monolayer of hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (HBC). Here we now present the detailed structural investigation of this organic double-layer system. We show that the structure of the heterosystem can be identified as line-on-line coincidence (lol), a new type of epitaxy discovered by us previously for the system 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) on HBC on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG). Additionally, we provide evidence on the basis of advanced potential energy calculations that indeed energetic gain drives this lol growth mode.
