Order-5 truncated pentagonal hexecontahedron

The order-5 truncated pentagonal hexecontahedron is a convex polyhedron with 72 faces: 60 hexagons and 12 pentagons triangular, with 210 edges, and 140 vertices. Its dual is the pentakis snub dodecahedron.

It is Goldberg polyhedron {5+,3}<sub>2,1</sub> in the icosahedral family, with chiral symmetry. The relationship between pentagons steps into 2 hexagons away, and then a turn with one more step.

It is a Fullerene C140.

Construction

It is explicitly called a pentatruncated pentagonal hexecontahedron since only the valence-5 vertices of the pentagonal hexecontahedron are truncated.

Its topology can be constructed in Conway polyhedron notation as t5gD and more simply wD as a whirled dodecahedron, reducing original pentagonal faces and adding 5 distorted hexagons around each, in clockwise or counter-clockwise forms. This picture shows its flat construction before the geometry is adjusted into a more spherical form. The snub can create a (5,3) geodesic polyhedron by k5k6.

Related polyhedra

The whirled dodecahedron creates more polyhedra by basic Conway polyhedron notation. The zip whirled dodecahedron makes a chamfered truncated icosahedron, and Goldberg (4,1). Whirl applied twice produces Goldberg (5,3), and applied twice with reverse orientations produces goldberg (7,0).
