Supramolecular containers are capable of trapping molecular guests in their inner cavity. The dynamic properties of such assemblies and the exchange process of the encapsulated and free guest are key to various applications. In their Communication on page 15314 ff., B. C. Gibb, A. Bar‐Shir, and co‐workers describe an NMR‐based method, termed guest exchange saturation transfer (GEST), for the determination of guest exchange rates from distinct dimeric assemblies of the deep‐cavity cavitand octa acid.
