A rare single crystal to single crystal transformation leads to a [2+2] photodimerization of homoditopic olefins ( trans ‐1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)ethylene) assembled and preorganized within hydrogen‐bonded quaternary complexes by using Rebek's imide. In this way a rctt ‐tetrakis(4‐pyridyl)cyclobutane (see picture) was obtained stereospecifically in up to 100 % yield.
