A viologen compound is a crystalline compound including a heterocyclic moiety in which a carboxylate of an alkali metal is bound directly or indirectly to both ends of a basic skeleton containing 4,4-bipyridinium and an anionic moiety that pairs with 4,4-bipyridinium. The viologen compound can be used, for example, as a negative electrode active material for an electricity storage device including a negative electrode containing the negative electrode active material, a positive electrode containing a positive electrode active material capable of giving and receiving anions, and an ion-conducting medium that is disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode and conducts anions.
