Mo takes the tube: A saddle‐distorted Mo V –porphyrin complex forms a tubular assembly through intermolecular π–π interactions, which has an internal diameter of 1 nm (see picture). Within such tubes, tetranuclear Mo VI –oxo clusters could be size‐selectively included through intermolecular hydrogen‐bonding interactions.
