A Self‐Assembled M8L6 Cubic Cage that Selectively Encapsulates Large Aromatic Guests

Porphyrins cubed: A series of self-assembled M8L6 cubic cages that enclose a volume in excess of 1300 Å3 were synthesized (see scheme). The porphyrinic walls of the cubes provide favorable sites for π–π interactions, leading to selectivity between large and chemically similar aromatic guests: three molecules of coronene are incorporated and the higher fullerenes C70–C84 are selectively bound in the presence of excess C60.
