As nanometer-sized holes and defects are likely to influence these materials’ properties, there is a need for analytical methods to spatially and chemically characterize them down to the nanoscale. In this article, we compare tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy to common methods in nanoanalysis for the investigation of defect sites in molecularly thin 2D-polymer sheets and briefly present measures to meet the challenges arising from tip-induced degradation processes. }, number={6}, journal={CHIMIA}, author={Niepel, Timo S.
