Thirteen complete but overlapping icosahedral water clusters form this super-icosahedral structure (showing the tessellation ability) containing 1820 water molecules (an outer shell of an additional 360 water molecules is also shown). Only the oxygen atoms are shown (185 KB).
These animations use Jmol: an open-source Java viewer for chemical structures in 3D. Use the mouse for control.
