In this work. Raman spectroscopy is used to define: a molecular orient
ation in copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) films. The suggested approach is
based on the analysis of the lattice vibrations coupled directly with
the crystal structure of the compound, It is shown that the CuPc film
deposited on heated silicon substrate is oriented so that the YZ crys
tallographic plane is oriented parallel to the substrate surface. (C)
