Abstract: We consider the three-dimensional Poisson-Voronoi tessellation and study the average facedness m_n of a cell known to neighbor an n-faced cell. Whereas Aboav's law states that m_n=A+B/n, theoretical arguments indicate an asymptotic expansion m_n = 8 + k_1 n^{-1/6} +.... Recent new Monte Carlo data due to Lazar et al., based on a very large data set, now clearly rule out Aboav's law. In this work we determine the numerical value of k_1 and compare the expansion to the Monte Carlo data. The calculation of k_1 involves an auxiliary planar cellular structure composed of circular arcs, that we will call the Poisson-Moebius diagram. It is a special case of more general Moebius diagrams (or multiplicatively weighted power diagrams) and is of interest for its own sake. We obtain exact results for the total edge length per unit area, which is a prerequisite for the coefficient k_1, and a few other quantities in this diagram.
