The compound of four octahedra is a
uniform polyhedron compound
In geometry, a uniform polyhedron compound is a polyhedral compound whose constituents are identical (although possibly enantiomorphous) uniform polyhedra, in an arrangement that is also uniform, i.e. the symmetry group of the compound acts tran ...
. It's composed of a symmetric arrangement of 4 octahedra, considered as triangular antiprisms. It can be constructed by superimposing four identical octahedra, and then rotating each by 60 degrees about a separate axis (that passes through the centres of two opposite octahedral faces).
Its dual is the compound of four cubes
The compound of four cubes or Bakos compound is a face-transitive polyhedron compound of four cubes with octahedral symmetry. It is the dual of the compound of four octahedra. Its surface area is 687/77 square lengths of the edge.
