Abstract: The title compound, [Cu₆V₂O₂S₆(C₆H₈N₂)₆], is constructed from six CuS₃N and two VOS₃ distorted tetrahedra, forming an octanuclear V/S/Cu cluster with C_i symmetry. The geometry around the V atoms is slightly distorted tetrahedral, while there are large distortions from ideal tetrahedral geometry for the Cu atoms. Adjacent metal-metal distances range from 2.693 (1) to 2.772 (10) Å, indicating weak metal-metal interactions in the cluster.
