NETWORK DISCOVERY

The 3-,4-connected networks of C were all derived from a building block strategy I used in this work. The Jubilite network was derived from transforming atomic sites in 1 lattice (Waserite) with diatomic sites in another lattice (Jubilite) by "stretching" the atomic sites in to diatomic sites thus. The Moravia network was derived from an Andreini space filling of octahedra and cubooctahedra. The other 3D patterns I just "saw" them...Wells had well over 100 networks published...maybe over half of these were 3-,4-connected networks...I have done about 15 networks...O'Keeffe and his people have derived over 1000 networks I believe...O'Keeffe's networks are spread over all coordination types and polygonal circuit types. My strategies for the 15 networks I have done could be extended to derive many more networks probably. The (1) exocyclobutadiene and (2) cyclohexadiene and (3) barrelene building block motifs are indeed rich sources of 3D organic patterns waiting to be enumerated. The Andreini polyhedral space fillings are the basis for perhaps many potential inorganic and MOF networks. The replacement of atomic sites for diatomic sites could be extended to other inorganic and organic networks thus. O'Keeffe RCSR database, at more than 3500 entries, probably has covered more than 95% of all the possible networks in the Universe, I believe, at this point. Proserpio's SACADA database has over 500 potential C allotrope patterns in it, and probably thus has over 95% of the possible C allotropes in the Universe in this database.
