We report here the synthesis and spectroscopic properties of two enantiomeric chiral tridentate ligands (TPyCCD and TPyCCN) composed of terpyridine (TPy) and cinchonidine (CCD) or cinchonine (CCN) substituent, as well as their metal complexes with Zn2+, Fe2+, Eu3+, and Tb3+ ions. For the pure ligands, the fluorescent emission intensity increased as their concentrations increased in the dilute solutions, but they decreased when the concentrations were greater than 6.9×10−6 mol/l due to concentration quenching. No significant influence on ligand luminescence was observed for the Zn2+/Fe2+–TPyCCD and –TPyCCN metal complexes. Their lanthanide (Eu3+ and Tb3+) complexes displayed both ligand and lanthanide ion emissions, suggesting that the excited energy of both ligands could be transferred to the central Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions. Mirror-image circular dichroism spectra were recorded, with several signals centered at about 230, 250–270, 296, and 320 nm; the first ones corresponded to the chiral CCD and CCN substituents, while the latter ones corresponded to the TPy substituent and the metal–TPy (M-TPy) coordination units. It is suggested that the chirality of TPy and the metal complexes was induced by the coexisting chiral CCD and CCN substituents. In addition, due to formation of the metal complexes, the relative intensity of the chiral signals of M–TPy coordination units was enhanced at about 320 nm.
