Single molecule reactivity, self‐assembly, and self‐directed growth can be used to generate patterns on the nanometer scale. For example, molecular building blocks can be organized on substrate surfaces (see picture). New approaches that take advantage of single‐molecule reactivity and self‐organization, as well as stabilization of structures on substrate surfaces, are introduced.
