The (complex) edges then are xp-4-o2, which were nothing but the set of p-gons of the respective (p,p)-duoprism each. The vertex figure here throughout is just x2-3-o2, i.e. nothing but the real space triangle.

Those polytopes happen to be the (complex) 3-dimensional versions of Shephard's generalised hypercubes. In fact, p=2 not only returns into the real subspace only, but moreover becomes (here) nothing but the well-known cube.

The below various incidence representations are direct, next dimensional consequences from what was explained already at xp-4-o2 = xp   xp. I.e. the according cartesian or prism product applies for complex polytopes alike.
