Lanthanide triflates and a series of hexadentate chiral ligand complexes were synthesized. X‐ray‐quality crystals were obtained from mixtures of the lanthanide complexes, which were helical in shape. The complexes showed Lewis acidity and catalyzed the enantioselective Diels–Alder reaction of electron‐rich siloxydienes. The complexes were stable enough to be stored at ambient temperature on a laboratory bench and retained their Lewis acidity even after a month.
