Equations (6-236) to (6-239) are based on experiments on cube-oc tahedrons, octahedrons, cubes, and tetrahedrons for which the sphericity f ranges from 0.906 to 0.670, respectively. See also Chft, Grace, and Weber. A graph of drag coefficient vs. Reynolds number with y as a parameter may be found in Brown, et al. (Unit Operations, Whey, New York, 1950) and in Govier and Aziz.

Figure 2.9 shows how contractions of local sets of 8, 6 and 4 vertices onto the poles of C4, C3 and C2 axes, respectively, recover the octahedron, cube and cuboctahedron and thereby identify the Oe, Og and O12 orbits of Oh symmetry. 

The tetrahedron (Tj) is considered here only theoretically, since CN=4 is too low for lanthanide systems. But it is interesting to compare both octahedron, cube and tetrahedron. The fourfold inversion axis or the threefold rotation axis can be chosen as z-axis. The angular coordinates are given in table 12. The PCEM expressions for the parameters with regard to the fourfold rotation axis are ...

Figure 4.6 Relationships of idealized sd -1 -hybridized ML molecular shapes to simple polyhedra. Each panel shows the hybrid-orbital axes in dumbbell dz2 -like form embedded within the polyhedron, together with the associated allowed (no-hms-vertex) dispositions of ligands on the polyhedral vertices (with the unmarked metal atom occupying the polyhedral centroid in each case) (a) sd1 square, (b) sd2 octahedron, (c) sd3 cube, and (d) sd5 icosahedron.

Dual-form Latin dualis in modem mathematics means interequivocal. For example, duals are cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and ikosahedron tetrahedron is dual to itself [145-147],... 

Figure 7.9a. Perspective views (first column) of the regular tetrahedron, cube and octahedron and the trigonal prism and their projections. For each of the polyhedra the same letters are used for labelling the same vertices in the different projections two letters (one within brackets) in the same position correspond to two vertices superimposed in the projection.

Td, possesses 32 symmetry, and requires a minimum of 12 asymmetric units the cube and octahedron, which belong to the point group Oh, possess 432 symmetry, and require a minimum of 24 asymmetric units and the dodecahedron and icosahedron, which belong to the point group Ih, possess 532 symmetry, and require a minimum of 60 asymmetric units. The number of asymmetric units required to generate each shell doubles if mirror planes are present in these structures. 

We will now illustrate four octahedral hosts related to the Platonic solids. Three are based upon the cube while one possesses features of both a cube and an octahedron.

Fig. 19. Both cube and octahedron possess a centre of symmetry, which corresponds to the centre of symmetry in each atom of the crystal.

Finally, we turn to the pentagonal dodecahedron and the icosahedron. These two polyhedra have the same symmetry. They are related to each other as the cube and octahedron are related. The symmetry elements and operations are as follows. 

Figure 2.13. The dodecahedron and the icosahedron are two of the five Platonic solids (regular polyhedra), the others being the tetrahedron, the cube, and the octahedron, (a) The dodecahedron has twelve regular pentagonal faces with three pentagonal faces meeting at a point, (b) The icosahedron has twenty equilateral triangular faces, with five of these meeting at a point.
