Abstract

We report the magneto-chiral dichroism (MChD) of chiral tetrakis-type Eu(III) complexes in organic media. The obtained magneto-chiral anisotropy factor (|gMChD| = 0.015 T−1) is the highest reported to date for solution-phase systems, offering important insights into the future development of magneto-chiral photochemical applications.
