Cut into pieces : The π‐electron distribution in nanographene fragments isolated between oxidized graphene areas is investigated using scanning probe microscopy (see picture). The edge‐shape‐dependent localization and migration of the Clar sextet explains the observed π‐state distributions and enables investigation of the electronic properties.
