Ion pair formation is a fundamental concept in chemistry. The association between ions of opposite charge is widely used in synthesis and catalysis. In contrast, there is little evidence for the formation of cationic or anionic dimers in solution. We report the strength and distribution of doubly hydrogen bonded cationic dimers (c+[double bond, length as m-dash]c+) in carboxy-functionalized ionic liquids [HOOC-(CH2)n-py][NTf2] with n = 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9, probed by NMR solid-state spectroscopy. The two OH⋯O[double bond, length as m-dash]C H-bonds of the cationic dimers resemble the archetype H-bond motif known for formic acid. Herein, we clarify how the propensity for the formation of (c+[double bond, length as m-dash]c+) H-bonds depends on the alkyl chain length between the pyridinium ring and the carboxy group of the cations. For n = 9, the H-bond population is primarily dominated by cationic dimers (c+[double bond, length as m-dash]c+). Obviously, cooperative H-bond attraction is not only able to compensate for the repulsive Coulomb forces but also to ignore the H-bond accepting capabilities of the counter anion completely. In this regard, we provide the first evidence for quasi-isolated cationic dimers in solution that are stabilized by strong and directional (c+[double bond, length as m-dash]c+) H-bonds being as strong as the (m[double bond, length as m-dash]m) H-bonds between molecular mimics of the IL cations.
