The extraction constant and the two-phase stability constant of tris(2-thenoyltrifluoroacetonato) europium(III) between 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([Cmim][TfN]) 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 [Cmim][TfN] 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 [Cmim][TfN] 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)(HO) synthesized as a solid crystal were almost completely dehydrated in [Cmim][TfN] saturated with water. Consequently, the higher or extractability of the neutral Eu(III) chelate in the [Cmim][TfN] system can be ascribed to the dehydration of the Eu(III) chelate, which is caused by the specific solvation with [Cmim][TfN] molecules.
