Highly luminescent tris[beta-diketonate (HFA, 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoropentane-2,4-dione)] europium(III) complexes containing a chiral bis(oxazolinyl) pyridine (pybox) ligand-[(Eu(III)R)-Ph-pybox) (HFA)(3)], [(Eu(III)(R)-i-Pr-pybox)(HFA)(3)], and [(Eu(III)(R)-Me-Ph-pybox)(HFA)(3)])-exhibit strong circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) at the magnetic-dipole ((5)D(0)->(7)F(1)) transition, where the [(Eu(III)(R)-Ph-pybox)-(HFA)(3)] complexes show virtually opposite CPL spectra as compared to those with the same chirality of [(Eu(III)(R)-i-Pr-pybox)(HFA)(3)] and [(Eu(III)(R)-Me-Ph-pybox) (HFA)(3)]. Similarly, the [(Tb(III)(R)-Ph-pybox)(HFA)(3)] complexes were found to exhibit CPL signals almost opposite to those of [(Tb(III)(R) -i-Pr-pybox)(HFA)(3)] and [(Tb(III)m(R)-M-Ph-pybox)(HFA)(3)] complexes with the same pybox chirality. Single-crystal X-ray structural analysis revealed ligand ligand interactions between the pybox ligand and the HFA ligand in each lanthanide(III) complex: pi-pi stacking interactions in the Eum and Tb(III) complexes with the Ph-pybox ligand, CH/F interactions in those with the i-Pr-pybox ligand, and CH/pi interactions in those with the Me-Ph-pybox ligand. The ligand ligand interactions between the achiral HFA ligands and the chiral pybox results in an asymmetric arrangement of three HFA ligands around the metal center. The metal center geometry varies depending on the types of ligand ligand interaction.
