Low dimensional solids can be regarded as built up from a stacking of slabs or from juxtaposition of fiber. These are infinite two dimensional or one-dimentional giant molecules weakly bonded to form a three dimensional architecture. General considerations about the stability of such arrangements will be followed by a critical discussion of various approaches introduced in the form of particular examples. Low dimensional solids have a fascinating chemical reactivity. It is largely a low-temperature "soft-chemistry" mostly based on redox processes or acido-basic reactions, that are reversible. It is therefore a powerful tool for the preparation of new solids that can be low dimensional compounds but also large open frameworks with empty cages or tunnels. This contribution will be primarily devoted to these subjects.
