A multifunctional Dysprosium-carboxylato 2D metallorganic framework.

We report the microwave assisted synthesis of a bidimensional (2D) MOF of formula [Dy(MeCOO)(PhCOO) 2 ] n ( 1 ) and its magnetically diluted analogue [La 0.9 Dy 0.1 (MeCOO)(PhCOO) 2 ] ( 1d ). 1 is a 2D material with single-ion-magnet (SIM) behaviour and 1d is a multifunctional, magnetic and luminescent 2D material. 1 can be exfoliated into stable nanosheets by sonication .
