47. The NEXAFS analysis does not consider here any possible molecular twist: in principle, the angle α of the π* resonance can be related to the tilt angle of the molecular major axis with respect to the surface normal and to the twist angle of the aromatic ring with respect to the plane formed by the surface normal and the molecular major axis [see, for instance, M. Zharnikov, A. Küller, A. Shaporenko, E. Schmidt, and W. Eck, Langmuir 19, 4682 (2003)]. If the twist angle of the molecule is known, the tilt of the molecular major axis can be derived. In the present case, due to the superposition of different molecular arrangements and to the possible random disposition of the molecules or their domains at the surface, no assumptions valid for the entire sampled region can be made regarding the molecular twist angles.
