Abstract: The title Ag^I complex, [Ag₆(C₇H₁₄NS₂)₆], was obtained by the reaction of Ag(NO₃) with Na(ⁱPrDTC) in a 1:1 molar ratio in methanol (ⁱPrDTC = N,N-diisopropyldithiocarbamate). The centrosymmetric hexanuclear structure comprises two Ag₃S₃ units which are held together by the S atoms of the thiocarbamate groups. The AgAg distances range from 3.0382 (5) to 3.0985 (5) Å. One of the diisopropylamino groups is disordered over two positions, with site occupancy factors of ca 0.6 and 0.4.
