The great rhombated pentachoron, or grip, also commonly called the cantitruncated 5-cell or cantitruncated pentachoron, is a convex uniform polychoron that consists of 10 triangular prisms, 5 truncated tetrahedra, and 5 truncated octahedra. 1 triangular prism, 1 truncated tetrahedron, and 2 truncated octahedra join at each vertex. As one of its names suggests, it can be obtained by cantitruncating the pentachoron.

Representations[edit | edit source]

The great rhombated pentachoron has the following Coxeter diagrams:

  • x3x3x3o () (full symmetry)
  • xuxx3xxux3ooox&#xt (A3 axial, truncated tetrahedron-first)
  • xu(xd)uxo xu(dx)uxx3oo(ox)xux&#xt (A2×A1 symmetry, triangular prism-first)

Semi-uniform variant[edit | edit source]

The great rhombated pentachoron has a semi-uniform variant of the form x3y3z3o that maintains its full symmetry. This variant uses 5 semi-uniform truncated tetrahedra of form y3z3o, 5 great rhombitetratetrahedra of form x3y3z, and 10 triangular prisms of form x z3o as cells, with 3 edge lengths.

With edges of lengths a, b, and c (such that it is given by a3b3c3o), its circumradius is given by .
