Fig. 14.15. Nano- and macrocosmos/universe
similarities: schematic representation of the
{Mo 132 } type cluster on the cover-page of
Angew. Chem., highlighting its similarity to
Kepler’s early model of the universe and
‘‘abundance’’ of related icosahedra in both
cases. Important: it was the starting point for
the consideration of Keplerate type nanochemistry from a topological point of view (see [3c]).
