O h, *432, [4,3], or m3m of order 48 – achiral octahedral symmetry or full octahedral symmetry. This group has the same rotation axes as O, but with mirror planes, comprising both the mirror planes of T d and T h. This group is isomorphic to S 4.C 2, and is the full symmetry group of the cube and octahedron. It is the hyperoctahedral group ...

This is an indexed list of the uniform and stellated polyhedra from the book Polyhedron Models, by Magnus Wenninger.. The book was written as a guide book to building polyhedra as physical models.
A perfect octahedron belongs to the point group O h. Examples of octahedral compounds are sulfur hexafluoride SF 6 and molybdenum hexacarbonyl Mo(CO) 6 . The term "octahedral" is used somewhat loosely by chemists, focusing on the geometry of the bonds to the central atom and not considering differences among the ligands themselves.
The ideal tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, and dodecahedron form respectively the order-6 tetrahedral honeycomb, order-6 cubic honeycomb, order-4 octahedral honeycomb, and order-6 dodecahedral honeycomb; here the order refers to the number of cells meeting at each edge. However, the ideal icosahedron does not tile space in the same way.
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.
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.
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]
