Carbon allotropes can now be obtained as 3D (diamond, graphite), 2D (graphene), 1D (nanotubes) and 0D (fullerenes) materials. As the dimensionality is reduced new and exotic properties arise.[1] Many of the phenomena observed in these materials are a consequence of their structural simplicity, but in many cases this is not an advantage but a limitation. For applications where more complex structures are required alternative materials are mandatory. Thus, a new revolution can be envisioned in materials science by extending this successful dimensional variability of carbon allotropes to other compounds with higher structural capabilities. Good examples of these tendencies are covalent organic frameworks (COFs)[2] and coordination polymers (CPs), and their subclass metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).[3] Few procedures have been reported so far for the formation of 2D materials based on COFs. Some few examples have shown the assembly of different organic molecules, under ultra-high vacuum conditions, to produce 2D-COFs on surfaces.[4] Albeit, in these cases the reduced lateral dimensions of the materials limits their potential applications. Some recent works have shown that bulk layered COFs can be exfoliated into thin large area flat nanostructures by simple ultrasonication of the as-made bulk material.[5]For the case of CPs recent reports have shown their potential of as molecular wires [6] and nanoparticles with a broad panel of potential applications [3b, 7](eg, catalyst, drug carriers,…). Although little has been done so far regarding the production of 2D materials from CPs,[8] up to now most works reported vacuum deposition of organic molecules on metal ions to generate MOFs.[9] This bottom-up procedure is currently discarded for applications due to the reduced lateral dimensions of such obtained layers. More recently the top-down approach based on ultrasound assisted exfoliation of laminar 3D-layered CPs has been used.[10]
