Review text

Many complex crystalline 3-dimensional graphs are of interest to solid state chemists, in order to relate atomic and molecular crystal structures. This paper outlines an approach to graphs and tilings of \(E^{3}\) by generating examples from tessellations of the 2-dimensional hyperbolic plane. These graphs can then be mapped onto triply periodic hyperbolic surfaces. The properties of such graphs, including their densities, can be analyzed in terms of topological and non-Euclidean geometric concepts. The article contains examples of a variety of zeolite frameworks and novel graphitic carbon structures. The style of the article is that of a survey and an extensive list of references is given. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0943.00045].
