Polyhedral radial expansion and regular crystal lattices through octahedral periodicity. From the above comes a spatial transformation into a 3D rhombohedron, rhombic dodecahedron and cubic radial expansion, which characterises many so called, Bucky Tubes, Buckyballs etc. All though make use of a 2D rhombic unit cell. 2. 3D Rhombic Dodecahedron. 3. Rhombohedron (Hexahedron). 4. Oblate rhombohedron. The ratio between the long and short axis of this rhombus is 1.414213562.
