We report the synthesis, characterization, solid‐state structure and solution behavior of simple lanthanide trifluoromethanesulfonate complexes supported by a hexadentate tetrakis(2‐pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine ligand. The complexes' solid‐state structures exhibit different trifluoromethanesulfonate coordination, correlating with the size difference of the lanthanide ions. The ligand is capable of sensitizing Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Dy, and Yb yielding metal‐centered emission with moderate quantum yields.
