     The lattice points that lie in this plane are the vertices of the regular tessellation {3, 4} of equilateral triangles, and the other points just mentioned are the vertices of the quasiregular tessellation ${\displaystyle {\begin{Bmatrix}3\\4\end{Bmatrix}}}$ of triangles and hexagons [9, p. 60].

     If we allow the coordination figure to be a quasiregular polyhedron (a polyhedron with one kind of vertex and edge, but two kinds of face) there is just one possibility compatible with translational symmetry – a cuboctahedron.

使用する際の注意点

In geometry, the term inherits problems associated with semiregular, which is sometimes defined differently by different authors and occasionally used inconsistently by individual authors. Perhaps the most common "error" is to consider only convex polyhedra. (See Semiregular polyhedron on Wikipedia.Wikipedia ) There are precisely two convex quasiregular polyhedra: the cuboctahedron and the icosidodecahedron.
