Abstract: The reaction of Cs2S3, Ge and S yields single crystals of tetracesium digermanium octasulfide, Cs4Ge2S8. The structure contains the novel dinuclear anion [Ge2S8]4-, and is another example of a chalcogenidogermanate(IV) exhibiting S2 bridging units. Two GeS4 tetrahedra in the anion are linked via S-S bonds, yielding a six-membered ring which displays a chair conformation and crystallographic C2h symmetry. The anions are connected via Cs+ ions. The compound crystallizes with the Cs4Ge2Se8 structure.
