Both in PCBB and PCIB the centrosymmetric array is brought about by the sta
tistical superposition of molecules occupying regular lattice sites but irr
egularly pointing in opposite directions. Both systems share an isomorphic
crystalline structure in which molecules are almost stacked along the a-axi
