Abstract

A solution-based two-dimensional interfacial reaction between 5,10,15,20-tetra(4-pyridyl)-porphinato zinc(II) (ZnTPyP, 1) and Cu(NO3)2·3H2O, 2, results in the assembly of uniform preferentially oriented highly crystalline metal-organic framework nanosheets, NAFS-21 that have sub-micron planar size and mono-molecular thickness.
