In the title compound, guanidinium chloridotrioxidochromate(VI), (CH6N3)[CrClO3], both the cation and anion are generated by crystallographic mirror symmetry, with one O and one N atom and the Cr, Cl and C atoms lying on the mirror plane. The bond lengths in the guanidinium cation are intermediate between normal C—N and C=N bond lengths, indicating significant delocalization in this species. In the crystal structure, intermolecular N—H...Cl interactions generate R21(6) ring motifs. These ring motifs are further interconnected by intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds into infinite chains along [010].
