Single crystals of purely organic free-standing two-dimensional woven polymer networks.

ABSTRACT: The aesthetic and practicality of macroscopic fabrics continue to encourage chemists to weave molecules into interlaced patterns with the aim of providing emergent physical and chemical properties when compared with their starting materials. Weaving purely organic molecular threads into flawless two-dimensional patterns remains a formidable challenge, even though its feasibility has been proposed on several occasions. Herein we describe the synthesis of a flawless, purely organic, free-standing two-dimensional woven polymer network driven by dative B-N bonds. Single crystals of this woven polymer network were obtained and its well-defined woven topology was revealed by X-ray diffraction analysis. Free-standing two-dimensional monolayer nanosheets of the woven polymer network were exfoliate
