title: Molecular Scissoring: Facile 3D to 2D Conversion of Lanthanide Metal Organic Frameworks Via Solvent Exfoliation.
abstract: Five lanthanide MOFs with pcu topology have been exfoliated into nanoplatelets of two-dimensional structures via sonication in the dimethylacetamide solvent. These nanosheets are fluorescent under two-photon excitation dominated by the ligand, indicating energy upconversion ability.
