A delicate system , that is, in situ photoreduced silver metal nanoparticles (NPs) formed from a combination of Ag + complexes with L ‐ or D ‐cysteine, enables the introduction of chirality. This chirality is essentially programmed by a synergetic interplay between the CO 2 − and NH 3 + groups on cysteine, rather than the formation of a chiral metal core (see figure).
