Two-dimensional coordination polymers

A method of synthesizing a two-dimensional coordination polymer, the method comprising:

• contacting a first liquid precursor with a second liquid precursor at an interface, wherein the first liquid precursor comprises a ligand and the second liquid precursor comprises a metal linker;
• reacting the metal linker and the ligand to yield a two-dimensional coordination polymer at the interface;
• and
• removing the two-dimensional coordination polymer from the interface,
• wherein the first liquid precursor is an aqueous solution, the ligand is dissolved in the aqueous solution, and the ligand comprises octaaminonaphthalene.
