Substitution effects on the structural, optical absorption, and magnetic properties are investigated for the nanosheets and their lamellar aggregates. The composition of the (Mn{sub 1−x}Co{sub x})O{sub 2} nanosheets can be controlled continuously by adjusting the molar ratio of the starting materials. The solubility limit is x ∼ 0.20 based on the cell volume. In the 0.00 ≤ x ≤ 0.20 range, the band gap energy, magnetic moment, and Weiss temperature change systematically with x. The charge density of the (Mn,Co)O{sub 2} layer is independent of x (i.e., [(Mn,Co)O{sub 2}]{sup 0.2−}) and the cobalt ions are trivalent in low-spin state.
