Dodecahedro-

Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-003371

A structural descriptor in inorganic cluster nomenclature that denotes eight atoms arranged at the vertices of a polyhedron with twelve triangular faces, the triangulated dodecahedron. It is the shape of the boron cage in closo-B8H8(2-) and a common geometry for eight-coordinate metal complexes. It is not the pentagonal-faced regular dodecahedron of the hydrocarbon dodecahedrane, C20H20.
