A two‐dimensional surface covalent organic framework, prepared by a surface‐confined synthesis using 4,4′‐azodianiline and benzene‐1,3,5‐tricarbaldehyde as the precursors, was used as a host network to effectively immobilize arylenevinylene macrocycles (AVMs). Thus AVMs could be separated from their linear polymer analogues, which are the common side‐products in the cyclooligomerization process. Scanning tunneling microscopy investigations revealed efficient removal of linear polymers by a simple surface binding and solvent washing process.
