An ultimate aim of fabrication is the controlled positioning of individual atoms and molecules into perfect functional structures. Among the mechanisms to achieve such a goal is molecular repositioning on surfaces, whereby two- or even three-dimensional structures are created. We describe recent progress in the fabrication of molecular structures having a level of complexity of more than one thousand atoms, at room temperature.
