Name Waterman polyhedron number 4 wrt. primitive cubic lattice C3 centered at a hole,
cubically expanded rhombic dodecahedron
Circumradius sqrt(27)/2 = 2.598076
Face vector 32, 48, 18
Confer rad  

By the very definition of Waterman polyhedra, not necessarily all vertices are on the same sphere. However in here both the 8 cubical vertices and the other 24 vertices belong to the same radius.

The irregular hexagons {(h,H,H)2} have vertex angles h = arccos(-1/3) = 109.471221° resp. H = arccos[-1/sqrt(3)] = 125.264390°.
