Self-association of an indole based guanidinium-carboxylate-zwitterion: formation of stable dimers in solution and the solid state

The indole based zwitterion 2 forms stable dimers held together by H-bond assisted ion pairs. Dimerisation was confirmed in the solid state and studied in solution using dilution NMR experiments. Even though zwitterion 2 forms very stable dimers even in DMSO, their stability is lower than of an anal...
