text: Some tetrabutylammonium salts of simple anions include:
  *tetrabutylammonium fluoride, a desilylation reagent.
  *tetrabutylammonium bromide, a precursor to other tetrabutylammonium salts via salt metathesis reactions.
  *tetrabutylammonium iodide, a low cost catalyst.
  *tetrabutylammonium triiodide, a common carrier of the triiodide anion used in chemical synthesis.
  *tetrabutylammonium hydroxide, a precursor to other tetrabutylammonium salts via acid-base reactions.
  *tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate, an electrolyte for nonaqueous electrochemistry.
  Some tetrabutylammonium salts of more complex examples include:
  *polyoxometalates.
  *NS.
  *metal carbonyl anions.
  *Synthetic iron-sulfur clusters such as 
  *Octachlorodirhenate ().
