Ultrathin film devices is one of the aims for the layer‐by‐layer assembly of charged species. These authors have used microcontact printing of self‐assembled monolayers to pattern a ruthenium‐based luminescent dye system on a surface (see the optical micrograph shown in the Figure). Hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions are revealed to be critical to the selectivity of this process.
