Abstract
Single crystals of two new intermetallic phases Sm2Mn1-xGa6-yGey (x = 0.1-0.3, y = 0.6-1.0) and Sm4MnGa12-yGey (y = 3.0-3.5) were grown using a self-flux technique. According to single crystal X-ray diffraction data, Sm4MnGa12-yGey is characterised by the Y4PdGa12 structure type (a ∼ 8.65 Å; Im3̄m), while Sm2Mn1-xGa6-yGey formally adopts the K2PtCl6 structure type (a ∼ 8.71 Å; Fm3̄m). The general features of both compounds with rather similar crystal structures are represented by the alternation of empty and Mn-filled p-element octahedra, the order of which is determined by the Mn concentration. The diffraction data for Sm2Mn1-xGa6-yGey reveal a large concentration of Mn vacancies (x ∼ 0.3), which affects adjacent Ga/Ge atoms leading to their shift towards the vacancy. Both compounds demonstrate two ferromagnetic-like transitions and the presence of two interacting Mn and Sm magnetic sublattices. The Mn sublattice orders at TC1 of 143 K and 318 K, while the Sm one orders at lower temperatures at TC2 of 50 K and 280 K for Sm4MnGa8.6Ge3.4 and Sm2Mn0.74Ga5.1Ge0.9, respectively. The increase in Mn content not only increases the ordering temperatures, but also dramatically decreases the coercivity μ0HC from 230 mT to just 6.5 mT at 2 K. Despite the presence of two magnetically active sublattices in Sm2Mn0.74Ga5.1Ge0.9, the magnetic entropy change is quite low and only reaches 0.3 J kg-1 K-1 at T = 300 K and μ0H = 5 T, while the estimated relative cooling power (RCP) is about 36 J kg-1 at 5 T.

Abstract
Single crystals of RMnxGa3 and their new quaternary derivatives R4Mn1-xGa12-yGey (R = Tb, Dy, x ≤ 0.25, y ≈ 1.0-3.3) were grown from a Ga flux. The compounds are derivatives of cubic RGa3 phases, with Mn atoms filling the Ga6 voids. RMnxGa3 formally adopts a cubic ABO3 perovskite structure, in which the presence of Mn atoms results in a shift of the neighboring Ga atoms from their ideal position. A partial substitution of Ga by Ge leads to a higher Mn content, resulting in structural ordering of the latter and the formation of the superstructure phases R4Mn1-xGa12-yGey, which can be formally described in the Y4PdGa12 structure type. The presence of Mn vacancies, which was observed for R = Tb, and Ga/Ge mixing lead to a noticeable deviation from the idealized structure. The compounds contain two magnetic sublattices: the R sublattice, which orders antiferromagnetically near 20 K, and the Mn sublattice, which orders ferromagnetically at TC = 125-225 K with the Ge doping resulting in higher TC. The two sublattices are not independent, as the Mn sublattice induces partial ferromagnetic ordering of the rare earth atoms below TC, at least for the Ge-doped phases. Near TN, both magnetic susceptibility and heat capacity reveal complex behavior, indicating changes in magnetic structures below TN.

Abstract
We report a general and facile method that permits the transfer (stacking) of multiple independently fabricated and nanoscopically thin polymeric films, each containing a distinct bioactive agent, onto soft biomedically relevant surfaces (e.g., collagen-based wound dressings). By using polyelectrolyte multilayer films (PEMs) formed from poly(allyl amine hydrochloride) and poly(acrylic acid) as representative polymeric nanofilms and micrometer-thick water-soluble poly(vinyl alcohol) sacrificial films to stack the PEMs, we demonstrate that it is possible to create stacked polymeric constructs containing multiple bioactive agents (e.g., antimicrobial and antibiofilm agents) on soft and chemically complex surfaces onto which PEMs cannot be routinely transferred by stamping. We illustrate the characteristics and merits of the approach by fabricating stacks of Ga3+ (antibiofilm agent)- and Ag+ (antimicrobial agent)-loaded PEMs as prototypical examples of agent-containing PEMs and demonstrate that the stacked PEMs incorporate precise loadings of the agents and provide flexibility in terms of tuning release rates. Specifically, we show that simultaneous release of Ga3+ and Ag+ from the stacked PEMs on collagen-based wound dressings can lead to synergistic effects on bacteria, killing and dispersing biofilms formed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (two strains: ATCC 27853 and MPAO1) at sufficiently low loadings of agents such that cytotoxic effects on mammalian cells are avoided. The approach is general (a wide range of bioactive agents other than Ga3+ and Ag+ can be incorporated into PEMs), and the modular nature of the approach potentially allows end-user functionalization of soft biological surfaces for programmed release of multiple bioactive agents.

Abstract
The title compound, Ca5Pd6Ge6, was obtained during a systematic investigation of the Ca-Pd-Ge ternary phase diagram. The crystal structure was determined and refined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. It crystallizes in a new structure variant of the Y4PdGa12-type structure (Im3̅m, a = 8.7764(4) Å) that features an arrangement of vertex-sharing body-centered cubes of calcium, Ca@Ca8, with a hierarchical bcc network, interpenetrating a second (Pd6Ge6) network consisting of Ge2 dumbbells surrounded by Pd in a strongly flattened octahedron with Pd(μ(2)-η(2),η(4)-Ge2)-like motifs. These octahedra are condensed through the Pd to form a 3D open fcc network. Theoretical band structure calculations suggested that the compound is hypoelectronic with predominantly multicenter-type interatomic interactions involving all three elements and essentially a Hume-Rothery-like regime of electronic stabilization. The similar electronegativity between germanium and palladium atoms has a decisive impact on the bonding picture of the system.
