This constitutes the Ur‐Objection against necessitism; it is the primary motivation cited by potentialists about set theory.

A New High‐Pressure Polymorph of MgTe2O5 with a Unique Crystal Structure
MgTe2O5 synthesized under special high‐pressure/high‐temperature conditions of 8 GPa and 800 °C exhibits a unique crystal structure consisting of fused sechser rings built from pseudooctahedral [TeO5]6– and trigonal‐pyramidal [TeO3]2– units. The single‐crystal structure and temperature‐dependent powder diffraction data are presented.

N8‐Modified Quino[4,3,2‐Kl]acridines as Promising Antimalarial G‐Quadruplex Ligands
A series of extended aromatic compounds with tunable substituents was synthesized using a multistep methodology which allows various substitutions of the 8H‐quino[4,3,2‐kl]acridine scaffold. This chemical series appeared as a promising way to new antimalarial drug candidates with high activity (IC50 < 100 nM), exhibiting a novel mechanism of action ...

Self‐Cooling Molecular Spin Qudits
A material made of [GdEr] molecular dimers can encode a qudit and perform as a magnetic refrigerant. Microwave resonant pulses coherently manipulate its 16 spin states, while direct demagnetization measurements cool the material and a device down to temperatures below 1 K.
