“The H'(S-S) type⟳ of linked truncated octahedra and truncated cuboctahedra is analogous to the fluorite structure⟳ with the truncated octahedra in the positions of the fluorine atoms and the truncated cuboctahedra in the positions of the calcium atoms.”

“A three-dimensional network of linked cavities, each with a truncated cuboctahedron shape⟳ (Figure⟳ 6.5) through the structure⟳, is thus formed; the truncated cuboctahedra are also space-filling (each shares its octagonal face⟳ with six others), forming channels that run⟳ parallel to the three axial cubic directions through these large cavities.”

“Its pore structure⟳ consists of truncated octahedra linked to other cavities through 6-membered rings and of truncated cuboctahedra linked together through 8-membered rings.”
