Graphene double-layers are desired for implementation of novel electronic and optoelectronic devices as well as for applications in nanofiltration and energy storage. Despite the recent great success in production of single-layer graphene sheets, viable routes to produce graphene double-layers have not been yet established. Here, we present a molecular approach towards graphene double-layers based on the temperature-induced conversion of cross-linked self-assembled monolayers of 1,1',4',1''-terphenyl-4-thiol (TPT) on Cu(111) and polycrystalline copper foils. We characterize this transformation by complementary experimental techniques including X-ray photoelectron and Raman spectroscopy, low energy electron diffraction, helium ion and scanning tunneling microscopy. To determine the structure of suspended graphene nanomembranes we employ high resolution transmission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction.
