Summary:Two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal microsheets of 8-hydroxyquinoline zinc (Znq 2 ) were synthesized readily via a mixed solvent induced self-assembly method. The 2D optical waveguiding properties of the microsheets have been clearly revealed by both fluorescence microscopy and confocal microscopy. In addition, the reversible vapochromic properties of the microsheets have also been demonstrated when the Znq 2 is exposed to HCl and NH 3 vapors. Hexagonal single crystalline Znq 2 microsheets exhibit two-dimensional optical waveguiding and luminescence vapochromic properties.
