Seeing is believing : The visual chiral recognition of ( R )‐ and ( S )‐binap has been realized through an enantioselective breakdown of metallogels prepared from novel aromatic–linker–steroidal‐type pincer platinum gelators. Van der Waals interactions, π stacking, and metal–metal bonding are responsible for the aggregation and chiral recognition.
