The planar chiral Schiff base ligand 2, derived from (Rp)‐5‐formyl‐4‐hydroxy‐[2.2]paracyclophane (FHPC) (1), was utilised to form a Λ‐CoIII cis‐β‐octahedral metal complex 3 with complete control of the metal‐centred chirality. In addition, a di‐µ‐oxo Λ,Λ‐MnIV complex 4 was synthesised with control of both metal‐centred and (P)‐helical chirality.
