Diorganotelluride···N Chalcogen Bonds: Analysis and Tuning of Two σ‐Holes
Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, EarlyView.Two new chalcogen bond aggregates were analyzed using single crystal X‐ray diffraction: an oligomeric ChB aggregate between bis(pentafluorophenyl) telluride and DABCO, and a monoadduct between (pentafluorophenyl)(phenyl) telluride and quinuclidine. In addition to some of the shortest intermolecular Te···N contacts reported, these structures provide ...

Nano‐Architected Metallic Metamaterial With Enhanced Fatigue Resistance via Dislocation Starvation
Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 59, 22 October 2026.Nanoscale Ni single crystals exhibit remarkable fatigue resistance over an order of magnitude higher than that of bulk single crystals through dislocation starvation. By translating this mechanism into geometric nano‐architecture, nano‐architected Ni single‐crystal metamaterials achieve about twice the fatigue resistance of the bulk, despite their ...
