Abstract
Polarity formation in a three-dimensional array of molecules is described as a symmetry breaking effect of a generalized Ising Hamiltonian. Geometrical constraints in conjunction with asymmetric multipole interactions are able to break the spin flip symmetry generating a non-vanishing average local polarization.
