Abstract
Polytopes of the highest dimension of molecules of compounds of inorganic and organic chemistry are considered on specific examples. It is shown that they all have dimensions greater than three. They may include polytopes of a known shape, discussed in previous chapters, but in general they differ significantly from the standard shapes. These include linear and nonlinear chains of metal atoms with ligands, closed chains of metal atoms with ligands, clusters with ligands and a metal polyhedral backbone. A class of polytopic prismahedrons (a special type of polytopes of higher dimension) is considered, from which parallelotopes of higher dimension are formed, which are necessary for constructing n-dimensional spaces, using them to create extended nanomaterials based on clusters of chemical compounds.
