Close-packed structure and icosahedral symmetry

Pages 301-306 | Received 23 Feb 1987, Accepted 08 May 1987, Published online: 20 Aug 2006
 

Abstract

The structures of the pentagonal and icosahedral symmetry are derived on the basis of various arrangements of atomic tetrahedra and octahedra assuming minimal distortions and deformations. The icosahedral structures consist of two interpenetrating networks, one of which is composed of groups of four icosahedra and the other of bisected diamond-type bonds.
