has received an upsurge of interest,[1] self-assembly of
small organic and organometallic molecules into 2D nanostructures
could also be harnessed to develop new classes of
functional supramolecular nanomaterials.[2] In principle,
quasi-2D lamellae or nanosheets are planar structures
having a thickness less than 100 nm and lateral dimensions a
few orders of magnitude greater than their thickness. Control
over the bilateral intermolecular noncovalent interactions is
anticipated to organize small molecules into regular 2D
nanostructures, which has been a formidable challenge yet to
be achieved. Recently, Shelnutt and co-workers obtained
discrete porphyrin nanosheets reprecipitated from their
solutions;[3] Sathish and co-workers constructed hexagonal
C60 nanosheets using a liquid–liquid interfacial precipitation
method;[4] the groups of Yao[5] and Hu[6] prepared singlecrystalline
nanosheets of polycyclic aromatics using a surfactant-
assisted reprecipitation and a physical vapor transporting
method, respectively; and Zhang and co-workers suggested
that molecules with intramolecular charge-transfer dipole
moments could be grown into quasi-2D nanostructures.[7]
Moreover, some amphiphiles and organogelators were
found to self-organize into sheet-like nanostructures in
contact with solvents.[8] Despite these advances, templateand
surfactant-free synthesis of free-standing, crystalline, and
optoelectronically active nanosheets from small molecules
remains elusive.
