17. A "simple 3-polytope" is a polytope in 3 dimension where each vertex is incident to precisely three edges. A 3-polytope is called "simplicial" if each of its facets is a triangle. For general properties of polytopes, see, for example, G. M. Ziegler, Lectures on Polytopes (Springer, 1998).

27. It is cautioned that the Si cage structures are not necessarily convex simple 3-polytopes, especially in high-energy structures. Some of them are not even convex. In spite of this, one can model well low-energy structures with convex simple 3-polytopes.
