GaLi features a planar, -symmetric Ga ring stabilized by two [Li] caps and exhibits dual 6π- and 10σ-electron aromaticity. Structural, electronic delocalization, and magnetic criteria consistently confirm its doubly aromatic character. This cluster represents the first example of a Ga ring stabilized by six π-electrons, expanding the scope of main-group aromaticity.
GaLi具有一个由两个[Li]帽稳定的平面、对称的Ga环，并表现出双6π和10σ电子芳香性。结构、电子离域和磁性标准一致证实了其双重芳香特性。这个簇代表了由六个π电子稳定的Ga环的第一个例子，扩展了主族芳香性的范围。
