Abstract

Inspired by the flexibility of the bottom-up approach in choosing building blocks of two-dimensional (2D) materials, a π-conjugated metal complex nanosheet (HHTP-Cu) was successfully prepared by the coordination of the ligand 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylene (HHTP) and Cu(II) ion at the water/oil interface. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy disclosed the large-size domain and transmission electron microscopy revealed the sheet morphology of the nanosheet. The flat and smooth surface was also confirmed by atomic force microscopy which further demonstrated the proposed structure. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy was applied to verify the homogeneous distribution of the elements while X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to investigate the composition of the nanosheet.
