Abstract
A simple electrostatic model is used to evaluate the orientation dependence of the induction contribution to the molecule-graphite potential for 13 polar molecules. The results are employed to help rationalize the experimental observation of orientation-dependent trapping probabilities of molecules scattered from a graphite(0001) surface. The approach is successful in predicting the correct sign of the steric effect for the majority of molecules under investigation.
