The surrounding shapes the box : The zinc porphyrin dimer 1 bearing pyridyl groups can chiroptically sense an asymmetric hydrocarbon, such as limonene, by forming the homochiral box‐shaped tetrameric assembly BOX ⊥ . As the BOX ⊥ formed is enantiomerically enriched, the optical purity as well as the absolute configuration of the solvent limonene can be determined.
