Stereoscopic representations of the arrangement of the two different tensegrity triangles in the crystal. (a) The two nearest neighbors of a molecule. The molecules are shown in a conventional line drawing. The central molecule in green is surrounded by six different red molecules, two in each direction of lattice propagation, one in front and one behind. These are in turn flanked by their green neighbors in the same directions. (b) A space-filling representation of the rhombohedron formed by eight of the molecules within the lattice. Intersecting red and green tetrahedra are seen to form the rhombohedron. There is a cavity at the center of the rhombohedron.
