Octahedron 20-Compound


Octahedron20Compounds

A first compound of 20 octahedra can be constructed from the vertices of icositruncated dodecadodecahedron uniform polyhedron and a second from the vertices of the great dirhombicosidodecahedron or great snub dodecicosidodecahedron (E. Weisstein, Aug. 29-30, 2023). They are duals of corresponding cube 20-compounds, the second of which is noted and depicted by Wenninger (1982, pp. 139-140).

The skeleton of the first compound is 20K_(2,2,2) (where K_(2,2,2) is isomorphic to the octaherdal graph) and of the second compound is the great dirhombicosidodecahedral graph.

Both are implemented in the Wolfram Language as PolyhedronData[{"OctahedronTwentyCompound", n}] for n=1 and 2.
