16. Here it is assumed that the HAB molecules are arranged in an face-to-face manner in the multilayer films. There is another possible stacking way, head-to-tail manner for the stacking of the HAB molecules in the multilayer films via π-π interactions. see Kasha, M. Radiat. Res. 1963, 20, 55. Both the manners are possible to result in two kinds of stacking arrangement of the monolayers of HAB, symmetric and asymmetric.
