In a oloso-cluster species such as a borane anion B H , in which the n skeletal atoms are held together by (n -h 1) bond pairs, the interatomic distances—the edge lengths of the B polyhedron—can be rationalized if one regards the skeletal atoms as held together by a network of... 

Microstructures consist of three-dimensional networks of cells or grains that fill space. Each cell is a polyhedron with faces, edges, and corners. Their shapes are strongly influenced by surface tension. However, before examining the nature of three-dimensional microstructures, the characteristics of two-dimensional networks will be treated. 

In [Pr2(H20)4(C4H6N04)2(C4H5N04)]Cl2,3H20, each hydrogen-iminodiacetate and iminodiacetate group was co-ordinated34 to four Pr3 + ions, thereby giving a three-dimensional network structure. The co-ordination polyhedron around each Pr atom is described as a distorted monocapped square antiprism made up of seven carboxylato O atoms and two water molecules.

Since with the fixed value of vector Pbr and the lack of constraint (62) the admissible region of solutions is a polyhedron, F reaches its minimum at one of its vertices. With the rank of matrix A equal to m-1 and n unknowns the reference solution contains no less than n- m-1) zero components, which equals the number of chords of the system of independent loops of the network graph. In this case the graph tree is a polyhedron vertex and the optimal variant should be among the set of trees of a redundant scheme.
