Fig. 14.19. A result of modern nanochemistry :
Plato and Archimedes look pleased viewing
the nanodrop of water {H 2 O} 100 inside a
molybdenum-oxide ‘nanosponge’ occurring
(formally) in the form of shells, that is two
(H 2 O) 20 dodecahedra and a rhombicosidodecahedron (H 2 O) 60 . Note, as in liquid water
all O Á Á Á O distances are of the order of 2.7 A ˚ .
