Connectivity pattern

Examples

The layers are stacked along the [001] direction using the following connectivity patterns

Symmetry Operation^*	Translation^*	Comment	Image
	1/2 a	direct connection
	1/2 a	4-ring connection

^* relative to the previous layer


Effect on channel system
	The disorder does not block the channel system. That is, the 10-ring channels of the polymorph PCR and the 12-ring channels of the polymorph OKO coexist next to each other. The relative amount depends on the mixing ratio of these polymorphs.

Simplest ordered end members

Connectors are shown in light blue.
Adjacent PerBUs generated by the same connectivity pattern (with or without connctors in between) are shown with different shades of the same color for clarity.
