= Dodecahedral molecular geometry
{wiki=Dodecahedral_molecular_geometry}
Dodecahedral molecular geometry refers to a specific arrangement of atoms in a molecule that resembles the shape of a dodecahedron, which is a polyhedron with twelve flat faces (usually pentagonal). In terms of molecular geometry, a dodecahedral arrangement typically involves a central atom surrounded symmetrically by twelve other atoms or groups. In chemistry, dodecahedral geometry is not among the most common shapes seen in small molecules or simple coordination complexes.
