The mixed-valent copper thiol­ate complex hexa­kis­{μ(3)-2-[(1,3-dimethyl­imidazol­idene)amino]­benzene­thiol­ato}dicopper(II)tetra­copper(I) bis­(hexa­fluoridophosphate) acetonitrile disolvate dichloro­methane disolvate

The mol­ecular structure of the title compound, [Cu(4) (I)Cu(2) (II)(C(11)H(14)N(3)S)(6)](PF(6))(2)·2CH(3)CN·2CH(2)Cl(2), shows a mixed-valent copper(I/II) thiol­ate complex with a distorted tetra­hedral coordination of the Cu(I) and Cu(II) cations by one guanidine N atom and three S atoms each. Characteristic features of the Cu(6)S(6) skeleton are a total of six chemically identical μ(3)-thiol­ate bridges and almost planar Cu(2)S(2) units with a maximum deviation of 0.110 (1) Å from the best plane. Each Cu(2)S(2) unit then shares common Cu–S edges with a neighbouring unit; the enclosed dihedral angle is 60.14 (2)°. The geometric centre of the Cu(6)S(6) cation lies on a crystallographic inversion centre. Cu—S bond lengths range from 2.294 (1) to 2.457 (1) Å, Cu—N bond lengths from 2.005 (3) to 2.018 (3) Å and the non-bonding Cu⋯Cu distances from 2.5743 (7) to 2.5892 (6) Å. C—H⋯F hydrogen-bond inter­actions occur between the PF(6) (−) anion and the complex mol­ecule and between the PF(6) (−) anion and the acetonitrile solvent mol­ecule.
