Preferred Label : Jahn–Teller transition;
IUPAC definition : A displacive crystal distortion to lower symmetry that cooperatively removes a localized-electron
orbital degeneracy at an array of like atoms so as to leave the atoms in the centre
of symmetry of their distorted sites. Example: The crystallographic distortion in
Mn sub 3 /sub O sub 4 /sub .;
Origin ID : J03362;
