Large-sized Gd3Al2.3Ga2.7O12:Ce single crystals are grown by the Czochralski method. The distribution of Al and Ga at octahedral (oct-, 6-oxygen-coordinated) and tetrahedral (tet-, 4-oxygen-coordinated) sites in the crystal is studied. Rietveld refinement is used to analyze the site occupation of Al and Ga. The results show that Ga ions with a larger radius than Al ions prefer to occupy the more compact tetrahedral sites. Density functional theory calculations show that the energy for a Ga ion at the tetrahedral site is lower than that at the octahedral site in the Gd3Al5O12 crystal, whereas the case for Al occupation in the Gd3Ga5O12 crystal is opposite. Slater rules are used to estimate the effective charge number of different ions, and the distribution of coordination ions around the octahedral and tetrahedral sites is analyzed. Then, the interaction between ions is simplified and the repulsive energy between Al/Ga and the coordination ions is calculated, which could provide reasonable understanding on the abnormal occupation. In addition, the occupation of Sc in Gd/Y garnet systems is also discussed using this method.

Aromaticity is a fundamental concept in organic chemistry. Hyperconjugative aromaticity, also known as hyperconjugation-induced aromaticity, has evolved from its origin from main group substituents to transition metal analogues, establishing itself as an important category of aromaticity. Additionally, aromatic compounds comprising two sp 3-carbon atoms have recently been reported both experimentally and computationally. However, what is the maximum number of sp 3-hybridized atoms needed to maintain hyperconjugative aromaticity? Here, we report that hyperconjugative aromaticity can be achieved in hexa-substituted indoliums and octa-substituted pyrroliums, possessing three-five sp 3-hybridized carbon/nitrogen atoms by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The aromaticity was confirmed by using various aromaticity indices, i.e., NICS, MCI, and EDDB. Notably, the strong electron-donating ability and aurophilicity of Au(I) substituents play a pivotal role in maintaining the aromaticity and structural integrity. In addition, increasing the number of hyperconjugative centers will decrease the aromaticity in these five-membered rings. Our findings highlight the significance of transition metal substituents in hyperconjugative aromaticity and offer a novel approach for designing aromatic organometallics.

Designing and developing superior associated supporting materials is a powerful strategy to improve the catalytic performance of the supported electrocatalyst for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). Herein, a new "surfaceclean" palladium nanocrystallines (Pd NCs) anchored on polydopamine (PDA)-linked tightly coupled Ketjen black (KB) and graphene nanosheets (GS) electrocatalyst (Pd/KB-PDA-GS) was prepared by self-polymerization reaction followed a simple surfactant-free wet chemical reduction strategy. As an electrocatalyst towards the alkaline MOR, the Pd/KB-PDA-GS exhibits a significantly boosted electrocatalytic behavior in terms of excellent mass/specific activity (1320.6 mA mg-1, 4.3 mA cm- 2), dependable long-term durability and forceful stability, remarkably surpassing to those of commercial Pd/C (533.1 mA mg-1, 3.4 mA cm- 2). The facts of electrochemical measurements and physicochemical analysis reveal that the polydopamine-linking plays a vital role in boosting electrocatalytic behavior of MOR. Briefly, after polydopamine-linking, the Pd/KB-PDA-GS is not only endowed rich hierarchical pore structures for mass transfer and more channels for electronic proton dual-coupled transfer, but also generated the sturdy metal-support interactions between Pd NCs and functional groups contained in polydopamine for firmly and evenly fixing small size Pd NCs on the KB-PDA-GS as well as optimizing the electronic state of Pd. Therefore, the strategy in this study will inspire the developing carbonaceous composite supporting materials by polydopamine-linking for the rational designing advanced electrocatalysts and beyond.
