High-connectivity networks: characterization of the first uninodal 9-connected net and two topologically novel 7-connected nets.
Ring and cage aggregates containing the large alkali metals potassium or rubidium have proven to be excellent building blocks for the creation of high-connectivity nets, as demonstrated by their use as septahedral and nonahedral nodes in synthesis of two new types of 7-connected nets and the first ever example of a 9-connected net.
