The order-5 truncated pentagonal hexecontahedron is a convex polyhedron with 72 faces: 60 hexagons and 12 pentagons triangular, with 210 edges, and 140 vertices. Its dual is the pentakis snub dodecahedron.

It is Goldberg polyhedron {5+,3}2,1 in the icosahedral family, with chiral symmetry. The relationship between pentagons steps into 2 hexagons away, and then a turn with one more step.

It is a Fullerene C140.{{cite journal|doi=10.1002/anie.201505516 | volume=54 | title=Giant Spherical Cluster with I-C140 Fullerene Topology | year=2015 | journal=Angewandte Chemie International Edition | pages=13431–13435 | last1 = Heinl | first1 = Sebastian| issue=45 | pmc=4691335 | pmid=26411255}}

Construction

It is explicitly called a pentatruncated pentagonal hexecontahedron since only the valence-5 vertices of the pentagonal hexecontahedron are truncated.Shaping Space: Exploring Polyhedra in Nature, Art, and the Geometrical Imagination, 2013, Chapter 9 Goldberg polyhedra [https://books.google.com/books?id=kZtCAAAAQBAJ&dq=%22truncated+pentagonal+hexecontahedron%22&pg=PA128]

Its topology can be constructed in Conway polyhedron notation as t5gD and more simply wD as a whirled dodecahedron, reducing original pentagonal faces and adding 5 distorted hexagons around each, in clockwise or counter-clockwise forms. This picture shows its flat construction before the geometry is adjusted into a more spherical form. The snub can create a (5,3) geodesic polyhedron by k5k6.

Related polyhedra

The whirled dodecahedron creates more polyhedra by basic Conway polyhedron notation. The zip whirled dodecahedron makes a chamfered truncated icosahedron, and Goldberg (4,1). Whirl applied twice produces Goldberg (5,3), and applied twice with reverse orientations produces goldberg (7,0).
