“…A unified geometrical analysis of Mackay, anti-Mackay, double-Mackay, pseudo-Mackay, and related icosahedral shell clusters was presented by Kuo [25]. Icosahedral structures appear, among others, in fullerenes possessing pentagonal and heptagonal carbon rings.…”

Twenty years ago our journal Structural Chemistry was founded with the primary purpose of providing a quality venue for reports that present the result of complex studies of chemical and biological systems and in the field of materials science, using diverse physical and computational techniques simultaneously and in a concerted way and that are concerned with the chemical, biological, and physical implications of the findings. A sampler of contributions witnesses the fulfillment of this goal and points justified expectations of a bright future for our publication.Matter is much more complicated than most materialists believe, or even are capable of imagining.What is yet to be discovered about the structure of molecules will contain many surprises.

Fascinating quasicrystals

2007

It took Dan Shechtman more than two years to get his discovery of an Al-Mn phase with icosahedral diffraction symmetry and sharp Bragg reflections published. A paradigm shift had to take place before this novel ordering state of matter -seemingly contradicting crystallographic laws -could be accepted. Today, more than 25 years later, the existence of quasicrystals is beyond doubt. However, not everything is settled yet. All the factors governing formation, growth, stability and structure of quasicrystals are still not fully understood, nor is it resolved whether their structures are strictly or only on average quasiperiodic, and it is still an open question why only quasicrystals with 5-, 8-, 10-and 12-fold rotational symmetry have been experimentally observed so far. These points will be addressed in this review article.

“…The I3 clusters can be further differentiated into vertex-sharing, I3(V) and mutually penetrating, I3(P), clusters [17][18][19][20]. Furthermore, there is also an I6(P) cluster consisting of a ring of six interpenetrated icosahedra [16].…”

“…A summary of this can be found in Refs. [17,19]. These units probably also exist in many approximants of quasicrystals.…”
