The weak‐link approach is used to synthesize a four‐coordinate Cu I complex for the chiral recognition of mandelic acid. The chelation through 2,2′‐bipyridine in a reaction that concomitantly breaks weak CuS links and opens the condensed structure into a 27‐membered macrocycle switches on the complex so it acts as an enantioselective fluorescent receptor.
