A field‐induced chiral YbIII Single‐Molecule Magnet (SMM) displayed an unprecedented near‐infrared circularly polarized luminescence (NIR‐CPL) in the solid‐state. The bridging bis(1,10‐phenantro[5,6b])tetrathiafulvalene triad (L) allowed an efficient sensitization of the NIR 2F5/2→2F7/2 emission while the NIR‐CPL is associated to the f‐f transitions of the YbIII ion bearing chiral β‐diketonate derived‐camphorate ancillary ligands.

The nature of the aromatic system and the number of chiral centers of the BINOL derived bisphosphate ligands influence both the chiroptical properties and single-molecule magnet behavior of a series of dysprosium-based chains.
