50. In light of an expected twisted adsorption geometry, the most interesting aspect is the uniformity or lack of contrast within single rubrene molecules. It is possible that the molecule-surface interaction is substantially weak to allow for a switching of the molecule between energetically equivalent twisted geometries. The switching may occur at a rate faster than the STM image acquisition time, resulting in an averaging out, and thus uniform, appearance of the features. A similar phenomenon has been observed for silicon dimers of the Si(100) surface as reported by: Hata, K.; Sainoo, Y.; Shigekawa, H. Phys. Rev. Lett. 2001, 56, 3084.
