Abstract
The cluster [Cu4(S5)2(C5H5N)4]·S8 with cage structure has been obtained by reaction of copper powder with sulfur and K2S x in pyridine, and its structure was determined by X-ray crystallography. The crystal data for the title compound: triclinic, P\(\bar 1\) (No. 2),Z = 2,a = 11.818(4) Å,b = 13.155(3) Å,c = 14.177(4) Å, α = 93.79(2)°,β = 96.68(2)°, γ = 115.76(2)°,V = 1954.52(1) Å3. The structure was refined toR = 0.038R w = 0.053) for 6444 data withI > 3.0σ(I).
