Molecular flasks of self‐assembled M 6 L 4 nanocages promote the [2+2] photodimerization of olefins in a surprisingly efficient fashion. Thus, the dimerization of acenaphthylenes and naphthoquinones quantitatively proceeded in the cavity with remarkable rate acceleration and perfect regio‐ and stereocontrol (>98 %, see scheme).
