67. Pseudo-Jahn - Teller effect occurs when two electronic states mix through vibronic coupling. Thus even a nondegenerate ground state may become unstable if the vibronic coupling to a close-lying excited state is strong. For more detail see, for example, refs. [6] and [7]. The pseudo-Jahn - Teller effect is often referred to, incorrectly, as "second-order Jahn - Teller effect."
