The compound (Et 3 S)[Ag 4 I 5 ], 1 , is readily synthesized from room‐temperature, ionic‐liquid media and displays a complex network structure of Ag 6 I 6 cages with Ag 2 2+ pairs forming 1D‐chains linked into layers distinctly separate from the disordered sulphonium cations. The compound should be regarded as a large‐bandgap semiconductor, but its significant structural voids qualify the compound a candidate for optoelectronic applications through the inclusion of suitable guest molecules.
