Tetrahedra are attached at their vertices in groups of six. The groups are arranged in stacked rings, forming a spatial network of tetrahedra. If the tetrahedra are tilted while maintaining contact, the structure expands and shrinks. This movement can be a model for phase change in crystal structures composed of tetrahedral molecules.
