contents Let $ (W,S)$ be a Coxeter system. We investigate the equation $ w(Φ_{x}) = Φ_{y}$ where $ w,x,y\in W$ and $ Φ_{x}$, $Φ_{y}$ denote the left inversion sets of $ x$ and $ y$. We then define a commutative square diagram called a Coxeter square which describes the relationship between 4 non-identity elements of the Coxeter group $ W$ and the equation $ w(Φ_{x}) = Φ_{y}$. Coxeter squares were first introduced by Dyer, Wang in \cite{dyer2011groupoids2} and \cite{dyer2019characterization}. Coxeter squares can be \textquotedblleft glued" together by compatible edges to form commutative diagrams in the shape of higher dimensional cubes called Coxeter $n$-cubes, which were first defined by Dyer in Example 12.5 of \cite{dyer2011groupoids2}. When $ |W| < \infty$ and $ |S| = n$, we show that Coxeter $n$-cubes must exist within $ (W,S)$. We then prove results about Coxeter $n$-cubes in the $A_{n}$ Coxeter system. We establish an explicit bijection between Coxeter $n$-cubes (modulo orientation) in $ A_{n}$ and binary trees with $n+1$ leaves. We also show that an element $x$ of $ A_{n}$ appears as the edge of some Coxeter $n$-cube if and only if $ x$ is a bigrassmannian permutation.
