A scaffold with a tetraphenylmethane core carrying two identical phenanthroline and two equal zinc porphyrin terminals is utilized for the clean self‐assembly of supramolecular three‐ and five‐component spiranes. The self‐assembly is guided by the orthogonality of the heteroleptic bisphenanthroline complex, heteroleptic terpyridine and phenanthroline complex, and N py → zinc porphyrin interactions. In contrast to Newkome’s spirane assembly ( Chem. Eur. J . 2014 , 20 , 11291), the present systems are fully dynamic structures in which both rings share one common atom.
