Even though the isolation of tetrahedral stereoisomers usually presents a synthetic challenge, a highly enantioenriched tetrahedral silver complex could be easily accessed by either crystallization or Viedma ripening. The overall preparation may be regarded as an example of absolute asymmetric synthesis. Experimental results indicate that both crystallization and Viedma ripening follow a similar cluster‐controlled mechanism.
