In the title compound, C18H13Te2 (+)·CF3O3S(-), the Te(II) atom of the cation and one O atom of the tri-fluoro-methane-sulfonate counter-ion form a close-to-linear Te-Te-O system, with a Te-Te-O angle of 172.3 (1)° and a Te-O distance of 2.816 (5) Å, which may suggest the presence of a three-centre-four-electron (3c-4e) bond. Secondary Te⋯O inter-actions [3.003 (4) and 3.016 (4) Å], involving t...

This document defines OSPF-xTE, an experimental traffic engineering (TE) extension to the link-state routing protocol OSPF. OSPF-xTE defines new TE Link State Advertisements (LSAs) to disseminate TE metrics within an autonomous System (AS), which may consist of multiple areas. When an AS consists of TE and non-TE nodes, OSPF-xTE ensures that non-TE nodes in the AS are unaffected by the TE LSAs....

The group 5 mixed-metal telluride, Hf(0.78)Ti(0.22)Te(5) (hafnium titanium penta-telluride), is isostructural with the binary phases HfTe(5) and ZrTe(5) and forms a layered structure extending parallel to (010). The layers are made up from chains of bicapped metal-centered trigonal prisms and zigzag Te chains. The metal site (site symmetry m2m) is occupied by statistically disordered Hf [78.1 (...
