Development of a [B12Cl12]2−-based layer under ambient conditions. Left: Dark field optical images showing the development of a the border (left to right 2, 30, 60 min, scale bar=435 µm) and b the middle of the spot (left to right 1, 8, 15 h, scale bar=140 µm) generated by mass-selected deposition of [B12Cl12]2- onto FSAM over time during exposure to ambient conditions. Dewetting is observed throughout the layer. c Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image showing the formation of droplets at the end of the dewetting process (scale bar=100 µm)
