A short C-S bond distance and a planar ligand structure indicate exten
sive delocalization of electron density in the anion of tetrabutylammo
nium ydro-5H-1,4-dithiepine-2,3-dithiolato)copper(III), [N(C4H9)4][Cu(
C5H6S4)2]. The central metal ion, formally Cu(III), has an unusual oxi
dation state. The crystal has a layer-like structure formed by the ani
ons, while the tetrabutylammonium cations intercalate between them.
