Solids can be generally categorized by their structures into crystalline and amorphous states with different interactions among atoms dictating properties. Crystalline-amorphous hybrid structures, combining the advantages of both ordered disordered components, present a promising opportunity to design materials emergent collective Hybridization at sublattice level long-range periodicity has been rarely observed. Here, we report nested order-disorder framework (NOF) constructed matrix self-filled amorphous-like innards that is obtained using pressure regulate bonding hierarchy Cu
