Two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes) showimpressive performance in applications, such as supercapacitors, batteries,electromagnetic interference shielding, or electrocatalysis. These materialscombine the electronic and mechanical properties of 2D inorganic crystals withchemically modifiable surfaces, and surface-engineered MXenes represent anideal platform for fundamental and applied studies of interfaces in 2Dfunctional materials. A natural step in structural engineering of MXenecompounds is the development and understanding of MXenes with various organicfunctional groups covalently bound to inorganic 2D sheets. Such hybridstructures have the potential to unite the tailorability of organic moleculeswith the unique electronic properties of inorganic 2D solids. Here, weintroduce a new family of hybrid MXenes (h-MXenes) with amido- andimido-bonding between organic and inorganic parts. The description of h-MXenestructure requires an intricate mix of concepts from the fields of coordinationchemistry, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and surface science. The opticalproperties of h-MXenes reveal coherent coupling between the organic andinorganic components. h-MXenes also show superior stability against hydrolysisin aqueous solutions.
