Lanthanide {beta}-diketonates have been extensively reported and shown to exist as either Lewis base stabilized monomers, i.e. M(thd){sub 3}(L){sub n} or as dimeric or other oligomeric species. The majority of these studies yielded hydrated metal {beta}-diketonates. Herein, the authors report the reaction of [TbCl{sub 3}(H{sub 2}O){sub 6}] with [Na(hfa)]{sub n} in aqueous media, which produces a compound in high, reproducible yield that is characterized by X-ray diffraction as {l_brace}[Tb{sub 2}(hfa){sub 4}({mu}{sub 2}-O{sub 2}CCF{sub 3}){sub 2}(H{sub 2}O){sub 4}][Tb(fha){sub 3}(H{sub 2}O){sub 2}]{sub 2}{center_dot}H{sub 2}O{r_brace}.
