The higher coverage required for BTS to reach the saturation level of work function, as compared with BPTS, could be attributed to a higher depolarization effect in the BTS films, due to a higher dipole moment values. This depolarizing effect acts to decrease (or tend to cancel) the dipoles and therefore the work function shift.
