A terbium double‐decker phthalocyanine complex has been prepared and characterized. The mesomorphism of the liquid‐crystalline complex is used as a tool to reversibly adjust its magnetic properties, thus allowing the coexistence of two different relaxation processes, which can be reversibly modified by simple thermal treatments, to be observed.
