The destructive influence of lateral diffusion on nanostructured monolayers can be prevented by using the spreader‐bar technique. This approach allows the formation of stable artificial receptors for barbituric acid by lateral structuring of a dodecanethiol monolayer with molecular spreader‐bars from thiobarbituric acid without chemical polymerization (see schematic representation). The new technique may have applications in chemosensors, affinity chromatography, stereoselective catalysis, and molecular electronics.
