It would be very nice to have a proof for the g.f.

Yes, but I'm not sure if any of them have been proved.  Looking back over
20 years to this paper:

R. W. Grosse-Kunstleve, G. O. Brunner and N. J. A. Sloane, Algebraic
Description of Coordination Sequences and Exact Topological Densities for
Zeolites <http://neilsloane.com/doc/ac96cs/>, Acta Cryst., A52 (1996), pp.
879-889,

I can't remember now if the g.f.s given there were empirical or if we
proved that they were correct. For a chemistry journal the distinction
didn't matter ....


Best regards
