Abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal microsheets of 8-hydroxyquinoline zinc (Znq₂) were synthesized readily via a mixed solvent induced self-assembly method. The 2D optical waveguiding properties of the microsheets have been clearly revealed by both fluorescence microscopy and confocal microscopy. In addition, the reversible vapochromic properties of the microsheets have also been demonstrated when the Znq₂ is exposed to HCl and NH₃ vapors.
