Tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate is a salt with the formula NBu4PF6. It is a white powder that is used as an electrolyte in nonaqueous electrochemistry. It is highly soluble in polar organic solvents such as acetone and acetonitrile.The salt consists of a positively charged tetrabutylammonium a quaternary ammonia cation and a weakly basic hexafluorophosphate anion. These species are chemically inert which allows the salt to serve as an inert electrolyte over a wide potential range.
