In the title compound, (C10H26N4)2[Ge2S6], the dimeric [Ge2S6]4− anion formed by two edge-sharing GeS4 tetrahedral units lies around an inversion centre. The average terminal and bridging Ge—S bond lengths are 2.162 (7) and 2.267 (15) Å, respectively. The inorganic anions and organic cations are organized into a three-dimensional network by numerous N—H...S hydrogen bonds.
