Dimerization of a guanidiniocarbonyl pyrrole cation in DMSO that can be controlled by the counteranion.
In the presence of chloride anions cation 1 dimerizes in DMSO with a surprisingly high association constant of > 10(3) M(-1) whereas the addition of picrate disrupts these dimers by formation of even more stable discrete pi-stacked ion pairs.
