Abstract

The construction of two-dimensional (2D) materials has drawn considerable attention in recent years due to their unique properties originating from the graphene-like 2D nature. In comparison with inorganic 2D matters, 2D organic layers exhibit abundant structural diversity and building strategies. This chapter summarizes the recent advance of 2D organic monolayers with periodic supramolecular framework structures. These ultrathin self-assembled architectures, termed as 2D supramolecular organic frameworks (SOFs), are homogeneously constructed in solution phase through self-assembly driven by cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8])-mediated host-guest interactions. They are soluble while maintaining stable network structures in solutions, which exhibit unique structural features and interesting properties.
