Preferential growth of MgO(111) nanosheets with a thickness typically between 3 and 5 nm (see TEM image) has been achieved by a simple, efficient, and inexpensive wet chemical route. The MgO(111) nanosheets have been shown to have ultrahigh activity for the Claisen–Schmidt condensation of benzaldehyde and acetophenone.
