contents We investigate the localization properties of a generalized SSH model. Numerical and analytical results indicate the emergence of extended states protected by unbounded hopping in this model. Moreover, this protection effect is disrupted by the appearance of generalized incommensurate zeros, causing the extended phase in the system to transition into a multifractal phase. However, at the boundaries of the phase region, we still observe the existence of extended states. These extended states coincide with multifractality-enriched mobility edges, separating the multifractal phase from the localized phase. Further analysis reveals that this extended states originates from the band edge states of SSH model. In addition, these isolated extended states also influence eigenstates with nearby energies, giving rise to an anomalous extended-to-multifractal critical transition. These findings not only enrich the behavioral repertoire of eigenstates at critical points, but also offer new insights for further understanding Anderson localization and the induction of multifractal phases.
