Metal ions with square planar coordination, when mixed with suitable ligands, can self-assemble into polyhedra of various sizes. Geometrical constraints limit the number of metal ions (vertices) to 6, 12, 24, 30, or 60 for entropically favored regular or semiregular polyhedra[1]. Shown at right () is the "main chain" of the largest such structure reported as of May, 2010[2]. form the vertices of a 26-face polyhedron[3]. Three square faces and one triangular face meet at each vertex.

Each palladium ion is coordinated by . The nitrogens are bridged by a ("ligand").
