Spontaneous resolution has attracted continuing attention in various research fields since Pasteur's work on the crystallization behavior of racemic tartrate. Here, a unique example of this phenomenon is reported, involving ionic crystals generated from racemicRR/SS‐ tartrate orR/S‐malate and racemic ΔΔ/ΛΛ‐[Ag3Rh2(2‐aminoethanethiolato)6]3+(ΔΔ/ΛΛ‐[1]3+) in water.RR‐ andSS‐tartrate selectively recognize the ΛΛ and ΔΔ isomers of [1]3+to produce ionic crystals of (ΛΛ‐[1])2(RR‐tartrate)3and (ΔΔ‐[1])2(SS‐tartrate)3, respectively, which can undergo spontaneous resolution. While spontaneous resolution also occurs when usingR/S‐malate,R‐ andS‐malate select the opposite isomers of [1]3+to give ionic crystals of (ΔΔ‐[1])2(R‐malate)3and (ΛΛ‐[1])2(S‐malate)3, respectively. In the presence ofS‐aspartate, (ΛΛ‐[1])2(R‐tartrate)3and (ΔΔ‐[1])2(S‐tartrate)3are preferentially crystallized from ΔΔ/ΛΛ‐[1]3+andRR/SS‐tartrate at solution pH values of 6 and 10, respectively. This finding provides significant insight into the optical resolution of chemical species by spontaneous resolution and the origin of homochirality in nature.
