Second-Order Jahn-Teller Effect in a Host-Guest Complex

A quick in and out: A supramolecular cluster encapsulates a cation guest with a linear alkyl side chain, which rapidly extends and retracts through apertures in the triangular faces of the tetrahedral host. This motion results in a dynamic second‐order Jahn–Teller distortion (see picture).
