Abstract: In the title compound, [Cu₆(CH₄N₂S)₁₄](ClO₄)₆, the interesting feature of the structure lies in the closely packed Cu-thiourea core, which is a truncated octahedron of two planes and four points at the edges. The octahedron is truncated parallel to the (101) plane. The Cu-thiourea core has pseudo-centrosymmetry about the centre of the octahedral void. The structure shows inter- and intramolecular N-HS hydrogen bonds.
