Slim guests are welcome : Aromatic macrobicyclic amphiphiles underwent self‐assembly through a face‐to‐face interaction to form dimeric micelles, which further associated laterally to form porous sheets with nanometer‐sized pores. The resulting sheets efficiently intercalated planar aromatic guest molecules, whereupon the porous sheets were reversibly transformed into closed sheets (see picture).
