21. 2 carbon chain is a straight strip of alternating triangles, so the neck structures discussed in this article have clear edges in dual space, which in turn facilitates the presentation. For more related discussions, see ref 26 and references therein.
22. 1 = 0, where the rims of the pentagonal prisms are identified at the edges of the inner dodecahedron. In these cases, each face contributes three atoms instead of two and 10 nonagons form on the inner dodecahedron as a result.
23. There is one more reason for making this choice: Because truncated icosahedron has pentagonal and hexagonal faces only, while necks of these two rotational symmetries are more stable.

25. We avoid using the phrase "definite value" because it is impossible to find one since the distances between a polyhedron's center to its faces, the inradius, are in general real numbers, while the geometric indices are natural numbers.
