Crystal structures of five hexaethylguanidinium salts (PF6− 1, FeCl4− 2, CuCl42−·H2O 3, CoBr42−/Br−·H2O 4, bistriflimide 5) were determined. Short interionic contacts were identified. Cyclic voltammetry of 2 revealed an electrochemical window from +1.0 to −1.5 V with a single Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox event at −0.27 V on a gold electrode versus Ag/AgCl.
