Luminescence thermometry has attracted more and more attention due to its non-contact and noninvasive operation, fast response, high spatial resolution, and so on, for which the luminescent thermometers are the key. Here, a 1D complex [Tb₄(HTC4A)(TC4A)(OBBA)₂(CH₃OH)₄(μ₄-OH)]_n (1) was obtained by solvothermal synthesis, where H₄TC4A=p-tert-butylthiacalix^[4]arene, and H₂OBBA=4, 4′-oxybisbenzoic acid. This complex is featured with a chain-like polymer constructed by bridging some sandwich-like Tb₄-(TC4A)₂ entities through OBBA^2- ligands. It exhibited the characteristic emission of the Tb³⁺ ion. Both fluorescence intensity and lifetime decreased with increasing temperature. The relative sensitivity was up to 8.743%·K^-1 at 473 K, indicating it is a good ratiometric luminescent thermometer. This complex had good stability under different pH values and in common solvents.
