	Compounds of Cubes
		We construct compounds by imagining the symmetry axes of the desired compound and arranging component cubes to have their symmetry axes arranged appropriately relative to the compound.
		Summarizing, these six compounds listed: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, are all variations of the same 5-fold prism-type compound---a 4-fold axis of each cube is a 2-fold axis of the compound---but the smallest and two largest angles of these six happen to result in geometric alignments which give the compound additional symmetry.
		Dual to this is the uniform nonrigid compound of 4 octahedra [*].

	Polyhedral compound (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A polyhedral compound is a polyhedron which is itself composed of several other polyhedra sharing a common centre, the three-dimensional analogs of polygonal compound s such as the hexagram.
		The stella octangula can also be regarded as a compound of a tetrahedron with its dual polyhedron, inscribed in a common sphere so that the vertices of one line up with the face centres of the other.
		The corresponding cube-octahedron and dodecahedron-icosahedron compounds are the first stellations of the cuboctahedron and icosidodecahedron, respectively.

	Surface of a crystal
		But variation in this respect is not regarded as rendering the conception of polyhedral domains valueless; on the contrary, a study of the conditions bringing about the shift from one domain shape to another seems adapted to throw light on the whole subject of atomic attraction.
		The compound being a polar one, the two kinds of atoms may be treated separately.
		The recognition of polyhedral molecular domains with lines along which the attractive forces are concentrated perpendicular to their faces makes the understanding of certain of the peculiar features of crystals relatively easy.

		However, an increasing number of polyhedral boranes have been identified which adopt shapes that are not predicted by these rules.
		Industrial research and development laboratories are increasingly concerned to maximize the success rate of their drug and chemical discovery programs by ensuring that a higher proportion of compounds synthesized have at least some of the desired properties.

	C&EN: SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY - BORON FLAT OUT
		There are countless organic compounds having innumerable uses, but there are many fewer examples of boranes (the boron analogs of hydrocarbons) and their carborane and metallaborane derivatives.
		Two of these compounds, CB and CB, which also have been studied by others, are predicted to have a carbon in the center of a ring of boron atoms, similar to boron molecular wheels.
		The reason for the shift from the 3-D polyhedral boranes to the planar boron clusters likely stems from the bare boron atoms' lack of dangling hydrogen atoms, which stabilize the spherical aromaticity, he says.

		The n-kis operator introduces a new vertex on the axis of each n-face, and therefore n triangles (in fact each x-face is augmented with a x-pyramid); so the tetrakis-cube has 6x4=24 triangular faces, thus is an icositetrahedron.

	Polypolyhedra
		In 1999, I became interested in a family of origmi modulars composed of interwoven polygonal frames and/or polyhedral skeletons, the most famous of which was devised by Tom Hull, which he titled Five Intersecting Tetrahedra, now commonly known by its abbreviation, FIT.
		Innumerable classes, families, and variations of polyhedra and their derivatives have been identified and seemed that these things I called polypolyhedra were likely already to be found within the mathematical literature.
		For one example, the compound of five intersecting tetrahedra — the basis of Hull's FIT — is one of the 59 known stellations of the icosahedron enumerated by H. Coxeter.

		Combining both tetrahedra gives a regular polyhedral compound called the stella octangula, whose interior is an octahedron.
		Correspondingly, a regular octahedron is the result of cutting off, from a regular tetrahedron, four regular tetrahedra of half the linear size (i.e., rectifying the tetrahedron).
		This compound of five tetrahedra has been known for hundreds of years.
