| Polymers with esters as ligand groups are usually named for the monomeric repeating unit that includes the ester group. Each repeating unit in these ribbons comprises of a set of three edge-sharing octahedra connected to three other edge-sharing octahedra at a level of one-half unit cell down (and up) along b. Because the unusual spacing evident in quasicrystals cannot result from a simply repeating unit cell, researchers turned to alternative structural models. |
