Synchrotron X-ray diffraction reciprocal space mapping (RSM) was performed on fiber-textured perfluoropentacene (PFP) thin films on SiOx to determine the crystal structure of a monoclinic thin-film phase [1]. In a recent study, the growth of PFP on Ag(111) was investigated by X-ray standing waves and specular X-ray scattering reporting a flat adsorption geometry within the monolayer and a structural transition to an unknown (lying) herringbone structure upon subsequent growth [2]. We demonstrate an approach to solve unknown thin-film polymorphs on single crystalline substrates through a combination of RSM, X-ray diffraction pole figure technique (XRD-PF) and an appropriate variable substrate choice. Taking advantage of both the fiber-texture of Highly Ordered Pyrolytic Graphite (HOPG) and the low surface roughness we determined a structure solution of the triclinic polymorph of PFP/HOPG by RSM and proved the same to be present on Ag(111), Au(111) and Cu(111) by XRD-PF deriving the epitaxial relationships to the substrates.
