The coordination of Eu(III) (from Eu(III)(hfa)3) by chiral P(III) (from BINAP) led to circularly polarised luminescence in dilute solutions on the order of |gem| ≈ 10−2 at 5D0 → 7F1 and |gem| ≈ 10−3 at 5D0 → 7F2 transitions regardless of the coordinating ability of the solvent (i.e., in non-coordinating ethanol-free chloroform and coordinating acetone).
