“Strong isotropy” is a geometrically defined symmetry that involves both atomic positions and bonding configurations. It is mathematically proven that only three specific lattices: honeycomb, diamond, and K4, possess this property. In this chapter, we introduce a methodology for rationally constructing these lattices using polyhedral π-conjugated molecules and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). We also explore the various physical properties that emerge from the synergistic interaction between strong isotropy and molecular degrees of freedom.

摘要

“Strong isotropy” is a geometrically defined symmetry that involves both atomic positions and bonding configurations. It is mathematically proven that only three specific lattices: honeycomb, diamond, and K4, possess this property. In this chapter, we introduce a methodology for rationally constructing these lattices using polyhedral π-conjugated molecules and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). We also explore the various physical properties that emerge from the synergistic interaction between strong isotropy and molecular degrees of freedom.
