I don't mean to contradict you because I'm on your side here, but do you mean a hexahedral molecule? Cubes have six faces. An octahedron looks like two pyramids placed base-to-base
It’s a bit counterintuitive to me too.
Oh, I see. The atoms are representing the vertices, of which the octahedron has 6. (Oddly enough, the hexahedron has 8 vertices...)
That makes a lot more sense. For some reason I was thinking in terms of faces, but that wouldn't make much sense molecularly...
