The cationic enantiopure ( R,R ) and luminescent Eu(III) complex [Eu(b iso Qcd)(H 2 O) 2 ] OTf (with b iso Qcd = N,N' -bis(2- iso quinolinmethyl)- trans -1,2-diaminocyclohexane N,N' -diacetate and OTf = triflate) was synthesized and characterized. At physiological pH, the 1:1 [Eu(b iso Qcd)(H 2 O) 2 ] + species, possessing two water molecules in the inner coordination sphere, is largely dominant. The interaction with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied by means of several experimental techniques, such as luminescence spectroscopy, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), molecular docking (MD), and molecular dynamics simulations (MDS). In this direction, a ligand competition study was also performed by using three clinically established drugs (i.e., ibuprofen, warfarin, and digitoxin). The nature of this interaction is strongly affected by the type of the involved heteroaromatic antenna in the Eu(III) complexes. In fact, the presence of iso quinoline rings drives the corresponding complex toward the protein superficial area containing the tryptophan residue 134 (Trp134). As the main consequence, the metal center undergoes the loss of one water molecule upon interaction with the side chain of a glutamic acid residue. On the other hand, the similar complex containing pyridine rings ([Eu(bpcd)(H 2 O) 2 ]Cl with bpcd = N,N' -bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane N,N' -diacetate) interacts more weakly with the protein in a different superficial cavity, without losing the coordinated water molecules.
