The synthesis of polymeric membranes that exhibit high permeation selectivity and high flux is a major challenge that has important technological implications. The concept of perforated monolayers (i.e., two‐dimensional arrays of porous surfactants) has been introduced in an attempt to rationally design such materials. The presented results indicate that these ultrathin materials have potential as novel membranes for separation.
