We present recent results of spin-resolved photoemission studies [1] performed with layers of dithia-heptahelicene molecules [2]. A photoelectron spin polarization (SP) of more than |P| = 30% was measured at full monolayer (ML) coverage. The SP was furthermore measured at varying submonolayer coverages to probe the role of cooperative effects in its emergence. Indeed, a sharp, nonlinear increase of the SP was found at high surface coverages above 80% of a ML. We interpret this behavior not as a direct effect of intermolecular interactions on CISS, but argue that it is mediated through a phase transition in the molecular ordering within the ML. Similar measurements were performed with layers of helical tetrapyrrole complexes. [1] Möllers et al., Isr. J.
