title: Absolute configuration assignment of D3-symmetric lanthanide complexes based on circular dichroism induced by interaction with a chiral probe.
abstract: Chiroptical properties and absolute configuration have been correlated for a series of [Ln(oda)3](3-) complexes in aqueous solution (Ln=Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, or Tm; oda=2,2'-oxydiacetic acid). Addition of the chiral probe L-proline (L-Pro) to a series of the racemic complexes resulted in an excess of the Λ-enantiomer.
