A ditopic halogen‐bond acceptor organizes a diiodooctafluorostilbene for a [2+2] photodimerization reaction to take place between two stilbene molecules in the solid state. The resultant cyclobutane product is functionalized with halogen atoms and undergoes self‐assembly to form a channel‐type host–guest compound that exhibits a very rare form of self‐inclusion.
