A series of self-assembled M8L6 cubic cages has recently been synthesized from tetraaminophenyl porphyrin, pyridine aldehyde, and iron(II) sub-components. The large void space (>1300�) and porphyrin faces of the cage make it an ideal host for large aromatic molecules.  The focus of this presentation is on the dynamics of host�guest interactions.  This cubic host sequentially encapsulates three coronenes guests.  We have modelled the kinetics of coronene binding to eludicate possible mechanisms of encapsulation.
