The rectified cubic honeycomb, or rich, is a convex uniform honeycomb. 2 octahedra and 4 cuboctahedra join at each vertex of this honeycomb. As the name suggests, it is the rectification of the cubic honeycomb. It is also the rectification of the tetrahedral-octahedral honeycomb.

Vertex coordinates[edit | edit source]

The vertices of a rectified cubic honeycomb of edge length 1 are given by all permutations of:

  • ,

where i, j, and k range over the integers.

Representations[edit | edit source]

A rectified cubic honeycomb has the following Coxeter diagrams:

  • o4x3o4o () (full symmetry)
  • o4x3o2o3*b () (S4 symmetry, as rectified tetrahedral-octahedral honeycomb)
  • o4x3x2x3*b () (S4 symmetry)
  • x3o3x3o3*a () (P4 symmetry, as rectified cyclotetrahedral honeycomb)
  • s4x3o4o () (as alternated faceting)
  • s4x3o2o3*b () (as alternated faceting)
