An optically active heteroleptic cerium camphorate: [bis­(trimethyl­sil­yl)amido-κN]bis­[(+)-(1R,4R)-3-(trifluoro­acet­yl)camphorato-κ²O,O′](1,3,5-trimeth­yl-1,3,5-tri­aza­cyclo­hexa­ne-κ³N,N′,N′′)cerium(III)

The title compound, [Ce(C₁₂H₁₄F₃O₂)₂(C₆H₁₈NSi₂)(C₆H₁₅N₃)], is a rare example of a structurally characterized lanthanide(III) camphorate. The Ce^III atom shows a distorted trigonal–dodeca­hedral coordination, formed by the N atom of the amido ligand [Ce—N = 2.428 (5) Å], four O atoms of two η²-bonded camphorate groups [average Ce—O = 2.459 (4) Å] and three N atoms of a chelating triaza­cyclo­hexa­ne donor [average Ce—N = 2.808 (6) Å].
