Abstract: The solutions of tetranuclear copper cluster anionic complexes [Me4N]2[Cu4(SePh)6] or [Me4N]2[Cu4(SPh)6] in DMFor CH3CNreacted with CS2 in the presence of a small amount of S. From the resulting solutions brown-black block-shaped crystals Ⅰ or brown-red block-shaped crystals Ⅱ were formed, respectively. Crystal data: (Ⅰ) orthorhombic, space group Pbca, a=1.1385(4) nm, b=16683 (4) nm, c=10921(2) nm, V=20742(9) nm3. μ=2846 mm-1, F (000)=1136 e, Dc=1777 g/cm3, for Z=8, R=00544 for 1821 observed reflections; (Ⅱ) tetragonal, space group P421c, a=13952(2) nm, b=13952(2) nm, c=11350(2) nm, V=22094(6) nm3. μ=2677 mm-1, F (000)=1136e, Dc=1671 g/cm3, for Z=8, R=00645 for 1114 observed reflections.The X-ray crystal structure determination indicated that the molecule of the complex Ⅰ consists of a polymeric anion [Cu2(CS4)2]n2- and cations [Me4N]+. In the polymeric anion, the repeated unit is a dinuclear copper complex [Cu2(CS4)2]2-, which links to four surrounding aggregations through sulfur bridges to form a two dimensional layer structure. The cations [Me4N]+ locate between the layers. The molecule of complex Ⅱ consists of a tetranuclear copper cluster anion with four perthiocarbonate ligands [Cu4(CS4)4]4- and four cations [Me4N]+. The four copper atoms form a tetrahedron. One of the sulfur atoms in each CS2- 4 ligand forms the sulfur bridge with two Cu atoms while the other is coordinated to only one copper.
