Disorder in the terminal η2-S4 ligands of the [W2S2(μ-S)2(η2-S4)2]2− anions of the title binuclear tungsten–sulfur complex, di-μ-sulfido-1:2κ4S-disulfido-1κS,2κS-bis(tetrasulfanediyl)- 1κ2S1,S4;2κ2S1′,S4′-ditungsten(V), (Et4N)2[W2S2(μ-S)2(η2-S4)2], results in two anionic orientations (A and B). In both orientations, the metal center is bonded to five S atoms, with a distorted square-pyramidal coordination polyhedron. The dihedral angle between orientations A and B, defined as that between the basal planes through two bridging and two η2-S atoms of the anion is 9.5 (3)°. The five-membered chelate rings of the anions in A and B display envelope geometry with atoms S9 and S3 at the flaps.
