Complexes of Eu(iii)(hfa)3 with a planar chiral P(iii) ligand (Phanephos): solvent-sensitive sign inversion of circularly polarised luminescence

Dalton Trans. 2017 Apr 19;46(16):5170-5174. doi: 10.1039/c7dt00741h.

Abstract

Complexes of Eu(iii)(hfa)3 with a C2-symmetric planar P(iii) ligand exhibited intense circularly polarised luminescence (CPL) due to 5D07F1 and 5D07F2 transitions, with the signs and shapes of CPL signals depending on the choice of solvent (acetone or chloroform).
