Free-standing nano-porous semimetallic graphene has been converted into semiconducting "graphane", where each C atom is sp3 bound to a hydrogen atom. With ultra-high-vaccum exposure to atomic H an unprecedented high level of hydrogenation (≈90% of sp3 bonds) is achieved. The semiconducting response and the establishment of sp3 bonds has been brought to light by photoemission spectromicroscopy and confirmed by theoretical predictions. A stable, double-sided fully hydrogenated configuration of graphane is obtained.
