Combining Lanthanides with PyBox Ligands: A Simple Route to Circularly Polarized Light Emitters**

Abstract
Abstract We report the facile synthesis of Tb III and Eu III adducts able to elicit circularly polarized luminescence. Both the sensitization of the lanthanide‐ion‐centered luminescence (i. e. the antenna effect) and the chiral environment around the metal ions are brought about by commercially available enantiopure 2,6‐bis(oxazolinyl)pyridine ligands (PyBox). This strategy is promising for the development of a wide range of new and simple circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) active Ln III adducts, thanks to the fine tunability of the chemical structure of the PyBox ligands.
