Synthetic chemists have developed robust methods to synthesize discrete molecules, linear
and branched polymers, and disordered cross-linked networks. However, two-dimensional …

In light of the considerable impact synthetic 2D polymers are expected to have on many
fundamental and applied aspects of the natural and engineering sciences, it is surprising …

This feature article provides both a critical perspective as to where synthetic 2D polymers
currently stand and a rather substantial view into how the future of this exciting field of …

Synthetic polymers exhibit diverse and useful properties and influence most aspects of
modern life. Many polymerization methods provide linear or branched macromolecules …

Creation of polymers comprised of repeat units that can create topologically planar
macromolecules (rather than linear) has been the topic of several recent studies in the field …

The creation of synthetic 2D materials represents an attractive challenge that is ultimately
driven by their prospective uses in, for example, electronics, biomedicine, catalysis, sensing …

Periodic and nanoporous monolayer polymers, the structures of which can be viewed as
molecular fishing nets, have been classified as 2D polymers. They have been previously …

Two-dimensional polymers (2DPs) are a class of 2D crystalline polymer materials with
definite structures, which have outstanding physical–chemical and electronic properties …

Interest in two-dimensional (2D) polymers has increased rapidly since the isolation of
graphene. However, approaches to the preparation of graphene-like materials still face …

The design and synthesis of two-dimensional (2D) polymers is a challenging task, hitherto
achieved in solution only through the aid of a solid surface “template” or preorganization of …
