Sure, but box shape doesn't mean anything.  Box volume is what is important.  I 
can make a cubic box with 1-nm edges and I can make a box with 100000-nm edges; 
they're both cubic but that fact tells you nothing about the volume.

Well, it's one molecule, not 1 mol.

I have no idea what this means.  It's absolutely trivial to convert between a 
number of particles (in this case, 1) and a volume in nm^3 to a concentration. 
It's simple unit transformation - consult any basic chemistry textbook.
