  1. A<sc>bstract</sc> The azimuthal anisotropy of particles associated with jets (jet particles) at midrapidity is measured for the first time in p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions at$$ \sqrt{{\textrm{s}}_{\textrm{NN}}} $$ s NN = 5.02 TeV down to transverse momentum (pT) of 0.5 GeV/cand 2 GeV/c, respectively, with ALICE. The results obtained in p-Pb collisions are based on a novel three-particle correlation technique. The azimuthal anisotropy coefficientv2in high-multiplicity p-Pb collisions is positive, with a significance reaching 6.8σat lowpT, and its magnitude is smaller than in semicentral Pb-Pb collisions. In contrast to the measurements in Pb-Pb collisions, thev2coefficient is also found independent ofpTwithin uncertainties. Comparisons with the inclusive charged-particlev2and with AMPT calculations are discussed. The predictions suggest that parton interactions play an important role in generating a non-zero jet-particlev2in p-Pb collisions, even though they overestimate the reported measurement. These observations shed new insights on the understanding of the origin of the collective behaviour of jet particles in small systems such as p-Pb collisions, and provide significant stringent new constraints to models.

  2. Abstract The crystal structure of a newly synthesized compound, [PbL(Ac)]2, (where L=2 (amino(pyrazin‐2‐yl) methylene) hydrazinecarbothioamide, Ac=acetate anion) exhibits a close contact between pairs of Pb atoms, suggesting a ditetrel bond, in addition to two Pb⋅⋅⋅O tetrel bonds, and two C−H⋅⋅⋅O H‐bonds. The presence of this ditetrel bond as an attractive component is confirmed by various quantum chemical methods. This novelty of this particular bond is its existence even in the absence of a σ‐hole on the Pb atom, which is typically considered a prerequisite for a bond of this type. From a wider perspective, a survey of the Cambridge Structural Database suggests this bond may be more common than was hitherto thought, with 44 examples of Pb⋅⋅⋅Pb contacts amongst a total number of 219 examples of T⋅⋅⋅T interactions in general (T=Si, Ge, Sn, Pb).
