   • 1982, Soviet Physics: Crystallography, page 155:

     The stabilizing influence of the isoamyl chain on a Pd cavity, due to the correspondence between the shape and size of the chain and the configuration of the pentadecahedral water shell, is geometrically manifested in the presence of a large number of C…O distances of order 3.3-4.0 Å (Table III). […] The pentadecahedral and decahedral cavities have the shapes of prolate spheroids with maximum diameters of 6.1-7.0 Å (Ref. 4) and minimum diameters of 3.7-4.3 Å (calculated by the present authors).

     Measurement of ¹¹B NMR spectra in particular have indicated seven distinct boron vertexes, although the resulting cage degradation by removal of two BH vertexes was confirmed only following X-ray crystallographic analysis, which revealed the pentadecahedral isonido-7,8,9-ReC₂B₇ architecture.
