25. The only information known about the required properties of counteranions of isoquinolinium salts is that they should not be nucleophilic. In this respect, even chloride was reactive enough to compete with the N-nucleophile, thus causing decomposition of the isoquinolinium salt, e.g., in Zincke reactions.
