Finding the middle ground : A 1:1 host–guest complex consisting of a hexa‐ peri ‐hexabenzocoronene molecule sitting in the middle of the free cavity of a giant π‐conjugated carbazole macrocycle has been obtained (see STM image). The complex has been prepared by physisorption of a monolayer of macrocycles followed by gas‐phase deposition of graphene molecules by pulsed laser deposition.
