Single-layer p-nanosheet materials have attracted much attention because of their unique physical and chemical properties, which derive from their two-dimensional (2D) nature. We are interested in using coordination reactions to synthesize p-nanosheet becasuse there are numerous combinations of metal and ligand, so that various chemical structures with unique electronic properties. Also, most coordination reactions proceed in solution under ambient conditions, leading to easy and inexpensive bottom-up synthesis.We recently synthesized p-conjugated nanosheet comprising bis(dithiolato)nickel units [1,2].   A liquid-liquid interfacial reaction using benzenehexathiol in the organic phase and nickel(II) acetate in the aqueous phase produced a semiconducting bulk material with a thickness of several micrometers. A single-layer nanosheet was successfully realized using a gas-liquid interfacial reaction. Modulation of the oxidation state and the electronic conductivity of the nanosheet was achieved using redox reactions.[1] T. Kambe, R. Sakamoto, K. Hoshiko, K. Takada, M. Miyachi, J. Ryu, S.
