Lanthanide complexes have attracted much attention for various applications in the fields of materials, medicines and catalysts. Ligand plays a significant role in tuning thermal stability of lanthanide complexes. We have studied the neutral and anionic oxygen-containing ligands in stabilizing cationic lanthanide complexes. A series of mononuclear lanthanide complexes supported by neutral bidentate oxygen ligands have been synthesized, thermally studied and structurally characterized in the formula of [Ln(bipyO2)4][X]3 (X- = anion) in our group. Here we introduce the molecular structure, thermal study and decomposition mechanism of the cationic lanthanide complex of [Tb(bipyO2)4][PF6]3 .
