Precise preparation strategies are required to fabricate molecular nanostructures of specific
arrangement. In bottom-up approaches, where nanostructures are gradually formed by
piecing together individual parts to the final structure, the self-ordering mechanisms of the
involved structures are utilized. In order to achieve the desired structures regarding
morphology, grain size, and orientation of the individual moieties, templates can be applied,
which influence the formation process of subsequent structures. However, this strategy is of …
