There is only one type of node in this structure: each node meets a square, a hexagon and a 12-gon.
The coordination sequence with respect to a particular node gives the number of nodes that can be reached from that node in n steps along edges.
Also, coordination sequence for the aluminophosphate AlPO_4-5 structure.

Empirical g.f.: (x+1)^2*(x^2-x+1)*(x^2+x+1)/((x-1)^2*(x^4+x^3+x^2+x+1)). - Colin Barker, Nov 18 2012
This empirical g.f. can also be written as (1 + 2*x + 2*x^2 + 2*x^3 + 2*x^4 + 2*x^5 + x^6)/(1 - x - x^5 + x^6). - N. J. A. Sloane, Dec 20 2015
Theorem: For n >= 7, a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-5) - a(n-6), and a(5k) = 12k (k > 0), a(5k+m) = 12k + 2m + 1 (k >= 0, 1 <= m < 5). This also implies the conjectured g.f.'s. - N. J. A. Sloane, conjectured Dec 20 2015, proved Jan 20 2018.
The proof uses the "coloring book" method described in the Goodman-Strauss & Sloane article. The subgraph H is shown above in the links.
The figure is divided into 6 sectors by the blue trunks. In the interior of each sector, working outwards from the base point P at the origin, there are successively 1,2,3,4,... (red) 12-gons. All the 12-gons (both red and blue) have a unique closest point to P.
If the closest point in a 12-gon is at distance d from P, then the contributions of the 12 points of the 12-gon to a(d), a(d+1), ..., a(d+6) are 1,2,2,2,2,2,1, respectively.
The rest of the proof is now a matter of simple counting.
The blue 12-gons (along the trunks) are especially easy to count, because there is a unique blue 12-gon at shortest distance d from P for d = 1,2,3,4,...
(End)
a(n) = 2*(6*n + sqrt(1 + 2/sqrt(5))*sin(2*n*Pi/5) + sqrt(1 - 2/sqrt(5))*sin(4*n*Pi/5))/5 for n > 0. - Stefano Spezia, Jan 05 2023
