Title: | Bead-Chain Construction Set and Interlocking Puzzle Inspired by Polyhedranes | Authors: | Bih-Yaw Jin | Issue Date: | Jul-2019 | Publisher: | The Bridges Organization | Start page/Pages: | 553 | Source: | Proceedings of Bridges 2019: Mathematics, Art, Music, Architecture, Education, Culture | Abstract: | We introduce a new type of construction set which can be used to build valence sphere models of any cage-like hydrocarbon, of general formula (CH)2n. Using n linear five-bead chains, one can connect these building units into a three-dimension arrangement that stands for its valence sphere model through n cross-linkings. More interestingly, the assembly processes of certain symmetric molecules, such as three Platonic hydrocarbons, including tetrahedrane, cubane, and dodecahedrane, are similar to solving interlocking puzzles. Hence, a bead chain construction set can also be considered as a new type of take-apart put-together puzzles. |
