Two‐dimensional molecular crystals with a defined number of molecular layers were produced by a layer‐defining strategy of crystal growth on a liquid substrate, reported by R. Li, W. Hu, et. al in their Communication on page 16082 ff. By controlling the spreading of the solution on the liquid surface, large‐area quasi‐freestanding two‐dimensional molecular crystals can be obtained ranging from bulk size down to the monolayer limit. This method allows the layer‐dependent optoelectronic properties of organic semiconductors to be probed.
