Molecular and crystal engineering rendered high‐performance organic thin‐film transistors (TFTs) based on a highly electron‐poor octachloroperylene diimide (Cl 8 ‐PTCDI). In their Communication on page 740 ff., F. Würthner, Z. Bao, and co‐workers report an intriguing supramolecular crystal engineering concept that directs two‐dimensional π–π‐stacked percolation paths for electron transport and affords TFTs with excellent mobilities and on‐to‐off current ratios under atmospheric conditions.
