The Cartesian coordinates of the vertices of the origin-centered cantellated 5-cell having edge length 2 are:

The vertices of the cantellated 5-cell can be most simply positioned in 5-space as permutations of:

(0,0,1,1,2)

This construction is from the positive orthant facet of the cantellated 5-orthoplex.

Related polytopes

The convex hull of two cantellated 5-cells in opposite positions is a nonuniform polychoron composed of 100 cells: three kinds of 70 octahedra (10 rectified tetrahedra, 20 triangular antiprisms, 40 triangular antipodiums), 30 tetrahedra (as tetragonal disphenoids), and 60 vertices. Its vertex figure is a shape topologically equivalent to a cube with a triangular prism attached to one of its square faces.

These vertices can be more simply constructed on a hyperplane in 5-space, as the permutations of:

(0,0,1,2,3)

This construction is from the positive orthant facet of the cantitruncated 5-orthoplex.

Related polytopes

A double symmetry construction can be made by placing truncated tetrahedra on the truncated octahedra, resulting in a nonuniform polychoron with 10 truncated tetrahedra, 20 hexagonal prisms (as ditrigonal trapezoprisms), two kinds of 80 triangular prisms (20 with D_3h symmetry and 60 C_2v-symmetric wedges), and 30 tetrahedra (as tetragonal disphenoids). Its vertex figure is topologically equivalent to the octahedron.
