We report the synthesis of chiral tetra-armed cyclens, having an asymmetric center at one side-arm, that show selective chiral enhancement with silver(I). When the chiral ligand forms a silver(I) complex, the side-arms cover the silver(I) incorporated into the cyclen. The asymmetric center controls the conformation of the side-arms in one direction, increasing the molar ellipticity of the CD spectrum. Chiral cyclens substituted with biphenyl groups exhibit large molar ellipticity values with strong exciton coupling effects.
