Abstract: The face poset of the permutohedron realizes the combinatorics of linearly ordered partitions of the set $[n]=1,\mathrm{...},n$. Similarly, the cyclopermutohedron is a virtual polytope that realizes the combinatorics of cyclically ordered partitions of the set $[n+1]$. The cyclopermutohedron was introduced by the third author by motivations coming from configuration spaces of polygonal linkages. In the paper we prove two facts: (1) the volume of the cyclopermutohedron equals zero, and (2) the homology groups $H_k$ for $k=0,\mathrm{...},n-2$ of the face poset of the cyclopermutohedron are non-zero free abelian groups. We also present a short formula for their ranks.
