Homework Statement
I found out this reaction series in my textbook which is as:
##2Cu(NO_3)_2+2Na_2S_2O_3 \longrightarrow Cu_2(NO_3)_2 +Na_2S_4O_6+2NaNO_3##
## Cu_2(NO_3)_2+Na_2S_2O_3 (excess) \longrightarrow Na_4[Cu_6(S_2O_3)_5] ##
Though it is not balanced(latter one) but my question is about the complex that is formed. What is it's geometry and what is the hybridisation of ##Cu## in this complex?

The Attempt at a Solution
I don't know. I have never seen any thing like this before. It's an awkward looking compound but still I have curiosity how these type of monsters are made up.
