Abstract

Metal- and ligand-based luminescence, absorption and circular dichroism difference spectroscopy signal the extent and nature of binding of enantiopure Δ and Λ cationic lanthanide complexes to [(CG)6]2 and [(AT)6]2.

  3. We have used CPL spectroscopy to establish that the (SSS)-L1b complexes of Eu, Tb and Yb possesses the Δ configuration. The Yb complex possesses a reduced helicity about the metal centre (ca. 29 vs. 40° for Eu/Tb), associated with its twested square-nanti-prismatic solution structure. VT-Proton NMR studies have confirmed that > 97% of one isomeric species exists in solution in each case for a related example, see: A. S. Batsanov, A. Beeby, J. I. pruce, J. A. K. Howard, A. M.
