Heterodesmic lattices

Relations between Chemical Bonds The Heterodesmic Lattices... 

In any case, the possibility of the coexistence of various interactions for the same structures suggests a continuous passing between the four fundamental types of chemical bonds as for the corresponding homodes-mic lattices, by the heterodesmic lattices. 

The tetrahedron edges represent the continuous passing from a kind of bond to another, respectively the coexistence inside the same bond (homodesmic lattices) or inside the same structure (heterodesmic lattices) of two types of interactions (Chiriac-Putz-Chiriac, 2005) ...

The crystalline lattices that present a single t) e of bonding between the particles are called homodesmics, and those that present multiple t) es of bonding are called heterodesmics.
