Polyhedral compounds

Compound of two great dodecahedra

This uniform polyhedron compound is a composition of 2 great dodecahedra, in the same arrangement as in the compound of 2 icosahedra. It is one of only five polyhedral compounds (along with the compound of six tetrahedra, the compound of five great dodecahedra, the compound of two small stellated dodecahedra, and the compound of five small stellated dodecahedra) which is vertex-transitive and face-transitive but not edge-transitive. (Wikipedia).

Coordination Compounds: Geometry and Nomenclature

We have been learning a lot about a wide variety of compounds, but we haven't really looked much at the transition metals. These also form compounds called coordination compounds, and the types of bonds involved in these compounds is quite a bit different from what we are used to, as are t

Rhombofoam in Zome – Scott Vorthmann

Rhombofoam is a pattern that fills 3D space in all the ways that a golden rhombohedron does, while forming dodecahedral and 16-sided cells that have the topology of foam: three cells around each edge, and four around each vertex. The result is a foam model that has the symmetries of a quas

A space-filling polyhedron, based on the Weaire-Phelan foam

The Weaire-Phelan foam is a relaxation of a packing of irregular dodecahedra and tetrakaidecahedra. Dissect the dodecahedra into pentagon-based pyramids by adding a vertex at the center, then glue their bases to the surrounding tetrakaidecahedra. Amazingly the faces line up and the result
