We report the first magnetically coupled guanidinate, -Eu(CN3H4)(2) (monoclinic, P2(1), a = 5.8494(3) angstrom, b = 14.0007(8) angstrom, c = 8.4887(4) angstrom, = 91.075(6)degrees, V = 695.07(6) angstrom(3), Z = 4). Its synthesis, polymorphism, crystal structure, and properties are complemented and supported by density-functional theory (DFT) calculations. The -, - and -polymorphs of Eu(CN3H4)(2) differ in powder XRD, while the -phase transforms into the -form over time. In -Eu(CN3H4)(2), Eu is octahedrally coordinated and sits in one-dimensional chains; the guanidinate anions show a hydrogen-bonding network. The different guanidinate anions are theoretically predicted to adopt syn-, anti- and all-trans-conformations. Magnetic measurements evidence ferromagnetic interactions, presumably along the Eu chains. Finally, EuC(NH)(3) (isostructural to SrC(NH)(3) and YbC(NH)(3), hexagonal, P6(3)/m, a = 5.1634(7) angstrom, c = 7.1993(9) angstrom, V = 166.23(4) angstrom(3), Z = 2) is introduced as a possible ferromagnet.
