A ten‐membered heterometallic ring complex with a T‐shaped CuHgFe 2 framework is the result of a bonding CuHg interaction (CuHg 2.668(6) Å). In solution this complex exhibits a motion comparable to a “molecular torsion pendulum” (shown schematically below), which generates an average mirror plane containing the four metal atoms; in the solid state only a C 2 axis is present.
