Abstract
AbstractStudies of graphene show that robust chemical bonds such as covalent bonds with trigonal‐planar atoms afford layered atomic 2D crystals possessing unique properties. Although layered molecular crystals are of interest to diversify elements and structures of 2D materials, the structural diversity of molecules as well as weak intermolecular interactions inevitably makes the design to be one‐off and individual. We herein report a versatile method to assemble layered molecular crystals. By developing a D3‐symmetry host at vertices to form a honeycomb layer, a diverse range of layered 2D host–guest crystals were obtained. Substituents on the host, elements/structures of the guest, the stereochemistry of the host and types of intercalants were diversified, which should allow for 6×32×3×2 combinations for structural diversification.
