Clean and polish : The spontaneous hierarchical molecular assembly of a naphthalenediimide derivative is used to form microarrays by a simple solution‐processing technique. This method is further employed to fabricate a self‐cleaning surface with very low slide angle (3°) and contact angle hysteresis (1°).
