Popis: We show that the mono-N-methylated and -ethylated derivatives of the achiral compound bisguanidinobenzene undergo spontaneous asymmetric crystallization into a chiral form with chiral space group P212121. The absolute configurations of the chiral crystals were determined by X-ray crystallography and correlated with circular dichroism (CD) spectra recorded in the solid state. The corresponding protonated and isopropylated derivatives, by contrast, afforded achiral crystals.
