In the title compound, [Au6S6(C15H23)(6)](.)C4H10O, the gold-thiolate
molecule, a centrosymmetric cyclic hexamer with a cyclohexane chair-li
ke structure, lies about an inversion centre. The Au atoms are coordin
ated in a near-linear fashion to bridging S atoms [Au-S 2.281 (2)-2.28
8 (3) Angstrom and S-Au-S 173.68 (9)-175.82 (9)degrees]. Bond lengths
and angles are normal.
