The extraction constant and the two-phase stability constant of tris(2-thenoyltrifluoroacetonato) europium(III) between 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([C
mim][Tf
N]) as an ionic liquid and an aqueous phase were determined by considering the extraction equilibria. Specific solute-solvent interactions between the neutral Eu(III) chelate and [C
mim][Tf
N] molecules were revealed from the relationships between the distribution constant of the enol form of 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone (Htta) and the distribution constant (
) of the neutral Eu(III) chelate. The coordination environment of Eu
in the neutral Eu(III) chelate in [C
mim][Tf
N] was investigated by time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy and infrared absorption spectroscopy. Both methods consistently indicated that not only the Eu(III)chelate extracted but also Eu(tta)
(H
O)
synthesized as a solid crystal were almost completely dehydrated in [C
mim][Tf
N] saturated with water. Consequently, the higher 
or extractability of the neutral Eu(III) chelate in the [C
mim][Tf
N] system can be ascribed to the dehydration of the Eu(III) chelate, which is caused by the specific solvation with [C
mim][Tf
N] molecules.
