Metal bis(porphyrinato) double‐decker complexes have been used for the construction of functional molecules such as molecular machines and single‐molecule magnets. Here, switching of the azimuthal rotation angle of terbium double‐decker complexes by redox stimulation is presented. This could contribute not only to a better understanding of their structure–property relationship but also to the design of redox‐driven molecular machines such as those similar to a Ferris wheel.
