Tetrabutylammonium
Tetrabutylammonium is a quaternary ammonium cation with the formula +. It is used in the research laboratory to prepare lipophilic salts of inorganic anions. Relative to tetraethylammonium derivatives, tetrabutylammonium salts are more lipophilic but crystallize less readily.Derivatives
Some tetrabutylammonium salts of simple anions include:
Some tetrabutylammonium salts of more complex examples include:
