The metal atoms define the vertices of an octahedron. The overall point group symmetry is O h. Each face of the octahedron is capped with a chalcohalide and eight such atoms are at the corners of a cube. For this reason this geometry is called a face capped octahedral cluster. Examples of this type of clusters are the Re 6 S 8 Cl 6 4− anion.
The unit cell is defined as the smallest repeating unit having the full symmetry of the crystal structure. [2] The geometry of the unit cell is defined as a parallelepiped , providing six lattice parameters taken as the lengths of the cell edges ( a , b , c ) and the angles between them (α, β, γ).
The Jahn–Teller effect (JT effect or JTE) is an important mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking in molecular and solid-state systems which has far-reaching consequences in different fields, and is responsible for a variety of phenomena in spectroscopy, stereochemistry, crystal chemistry, molecular and solid-state physics, and materials science.
In 4-dimensional geometry, the octahedral cupola is a 4-polytope bounded by one octahedron and a parallel rhombicuboctahedron, connected by 20 triangular prisms, and 6 square pyramids. [ 1 ] Related polytopes
A normal abelian subgroup has distortion determined by the eigenvalues of the conjugation overgroup representation; formally, if g ∈ G acts on V ≤ G with eigenvalue λ, then V is at least exponentially distorted with base λ. For many non-normal but still abelian subgroups, the distortion of the normal core gives a strong lower bound. [1]
The deltoidal icositetrahedron is a member of a family of duals to the uniform polyhedra related to the cube and regular octahedron. When projected onto a sphere (see right), it can be seen that the edges make up the edges of a cube and regular octahedron arranged in their dual positions. It can also be seen that the 3- and 4-fold corners can ...
