title: Top-down fabrication of crystalline metal-organic framework nanosheets.
abstract: Crystalline metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheets have been fabricated via top-down delamination from bulk crystals of a layered MOF, {Zn(TPA)(H(2)O)·DMF}(n) (MOF-2), and characterized by Tyndall scattering, scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy measurements. The delaminated MOF-2 nanosheets exhibit remarkable amine intercalation property and reversible amine exchangeability.
