Help with identification of unknown formula
I need a help with identification of this formula: https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/40614...
It is in a logo of one cafe in Prague, I thought about a cofein, but it is wrong. Any ideas?
Thank you very very much

Looks like an exotic cubic unit cell, ZnS seems to crystallize in one of these. Unit cells have hardly anything to do with coffee shops and I think
it's just chosen for artistic reasons.

It's part of a diamond crystal lattice. It crystallizes in a face centered cubic cell, and it's made of atoms bonded covalently in tetrahedrons.
