Electrons communicate with each other via the “magpie bridge” made by secondary forces. A series of conjugation‐interrupted dipyridyl‐linked Te−Fe−Cu carbonyl cluster‐incorporated polymers have been synthesized by liquid‐assisted grinding. These polymers exhibit surprising semiconducting characteristics with ultra‐narrow bandgaps and high conductivities, attributed to the through‐space electron transport via non‐classical C−H⋅⋅⋅O(carbonyl) hydrogen bonds and aromatic C−H⋅⋅⋅π interactions. More information can be found in the Full Paper by M. Shieh, H.‐L. Liu et al. on page 11261.
