title: The first lanthanide organophosphonate nanosheet by exfoliation of layered compounds.
abstract: Lanthanum 1,3,5-benzenetriphosphonate (LBP-II) with layered structure was obtained by a hydrothermal synthesis. LBP-II was successfully exfoliated to give nanosheets as confirmed by AFM observation. Europium or terbium-doped LBP-II as well as their dispersion solutions show photoluminescence.
