Proposed mechanism and transition state structures for guest substitution. Guest exchange does not proceed directly; rather, many individual solvent molecules (green) may enter and leave the interior of the softball between dissociation of adamantane (red) and incorporation of [2,2]paracyclophane (purple). In the structures, the substituents of the glycoluril units and some hydrogens have been omitted for viewing clarity.
