The preparation of tetrakis((+)-hfbc) lanthanide(III) complexes with an encapsulated alkali metal and ammonium ions M[Ln((+)-hfbc)4] (hereafter abbreviated as M-Ln : (+)-hfbc, (+)-heptafluorobutyrylcamphorate; M, ammonium or benzyl ammonium ions as well as alkali metal ions) was reported and discussed. The electronic circular dichroism (CD) spectra in the intraligand π−π* transition of M–Ln were examined in view of the solvent effect. Here, the concentration, alkali metal, and ammonium ion dependences are compared with the solid CD, 5D0 ← 7F0(Eu(III)) excitation spectra, circularly polarized luminescence, and vibrational circular dichroism. It has been revealed that the dodecahedral eight coordinate DD-8-M-Ln complexes in crystals are equilibrated between the diastereoselectively formed square antiprism eight coordinate SAPR-8-M-Ln and [Ln((+)-hfbc)3] in EtOH and CH3CN solutions or between the SAPR-8-M-Ln and DD-D2d(mmmm)-8-M-Ln complexes in CHCl3 solution.
