A novel phenylacetylene monomer having a perfluorinated alkyl group ( M-F ) was synthesized and polymerized in a chiral catalytic system to yield a one‐handed helical polymer. The ability and efficiency of the chiral induction of the fluorine‐containing monomer in the helix‐sense‐selective polymerization (HSSP) was much higher than those of a monomer having the corresponding alkyl group ( M-H ) we reported before. The resulting polymer P-F showed cis‐cisoidal one‐handed helical conformation, and was suitable for highly selective photocyclic aromatization (SCAT) to give a 2D surface modifier ( T-F ). Oxygen permselectivity through a base polymer membrane was highly enhanced from 1.83 to 2.36 by adding a small amount (1–5 wt%) of the 2D surface modifier T-F . The improvement was thought to be caused by improvement of solution selectivity on the membrane surface which the 2D surface modifier effectively covered.
