The octahedron in chemistry
Abstract
An investigation is made of some aspects of the geometry of repeating patterns in which various numbers of octahedra meet at each point, and its relevance to the structures of a number of ions, molecules, and crystals is examined. Structures discussed include the rutile and corundum structures. The relation between charge balance and purely geometrical factors in complex oxides and oxy-salts is briefly discussed.
