Four tetrahedra, together with spheres at the vertices and at the center, as well as cylinders connecting the spheres, are placed on the triangular faces of a cuboctahedron. Then the four tetrahedra are placed on the square faces of a larger cuboctahedron. The structure formed is similar to that of Zeolite A.
