2.1 Introduction

Over the past decade, significant progress has been made in the field of functional molecular‐based materials, resulting in an increased understanding of the relationship between molecular structure/ordering and performance in various applications in diverse fields such as electronics, energy creation/storage, and biomaterials. For most potential applications, organizing organic molecules into two‐dimensional (2D) thin film state is necessary. In order to create thin films with organic molecules, two experimental approaches have ...
