Compound of ten octahedra
The compounds of ten octahedra UC15 and UC16 are two uniform polyhedron compounds. They are composed of a symmetric arrangement of 10 octahedra, considered as triangular antiprisms, aligned with the axes of three-fold rotational symmetry of an icosahedron. The two compounds differ in the orientation of their octahedra: each compound may be transformed into the other by rotating each octahedron by 60 degrees.
