B in phase : Lyotropic lamellar phases can not only be formed from alkyl‐chain‐based surfactants with a well‐defined amphiphilic structure, now they can be obtained from metallacarborane clusters, described as θ‐shaped amphiphiles. The lamellae formed are unique as they have a monomolecular thickness.
