The charge‐carrier transport process of perylene is simulated in a single crystal field‐effect transistor on the molecular scale by H. Jiang, Y. Zhao, W. Hu, C. Kloc and co‐workers. Charge carriers can be transported in different directions, resulting in anisotropy. Atomically‐flat, large‐sized, 2D organic nanocrystals can be obtained. Based on this ideal structure, 3D models of molecular packing of perylene are made to show possible charge‐carrier transport directions. Both experiments and theoretical calculations on page 990 show that the preferred route of intermolecular transport is along the [001] direction, highlighted in the image with a beam of white light.
