Abstract

Abstract : In article number1802441, Dongmok Whang, Jang‐Kun Song, and co‐workers demonstrate six‐fold symmetrical molecular assembly on clean and large single‐crystal graphene (SCG), and directly prove that the molecular‐ordering direction is determined by the first contact direction between the molecule and graphene surface. This is significant in that it proves the perfect six‐fold‐symmetry nature of graphene and the absence of a preset direction of preferred molecular assembly on it.
