Provided are an atomic layer sheet that contains boron and oxygen as framework elements, is networked by nonequilibrium couplings having boron-boron bonds, and has a molar ratio of oxygen to boron (oxygen/boron) of less than 1.5, a laminated sheet containing a plurality of such atomic layer sheets and metal ions between ones of the sheets, and a thermotropic liquid crystal and a lyotropic liquid crystal containing these. In addition, there is provided a method for manufacturing an atomic layer sheet and/or a laminated sheet containing boron and oxygen, the method including: adding MBH4, where M represents an alkali metal ion, into a solvent containing an organic solvent in an inert gas atmosphere to prepare a solution; and exposing the solution to an atmosphere containing oxygen.
An atomic layer sheet comprising an atomic layer comprising boron and oxygen as framework elements, wherein the atomic layer sheet is networked by nonequilibrium couplings having boron-boron bonds, and has a molar ratio of oxygen to boron of less than 1.5, and wherein the atomic layer comprising boron and oxygen is anionic.
