High-connectivity networks: characterization of the first uninodal 9-connected net and two topologically novel 7-connected nets
J. Jacob Morris, Bruce C. Noll and Kenneth W. Henderson
Ring and cage aggregates containing the large alkali metals potassium or rubidium have proven to be excellent building blocks for the creation of high-connectivity nets, as demonstrated by their use as septahedral and nonahedral nodes in synthesis of two new types of 7-connected nets and the first ever example of a 9-connected net.
