A unique heterotrimetallic supramolecular assembly has been obtained by following a modular synthetic strategy based on the use of octacyanomolybdate(IV), manganese(III), and copper(II) complexes as building blocks. From a structural standpoint, single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction reveals the presence of the three different metallic centers that are originally arranged in a one‐dimensional fashion. Considering the interchain interaction, the compound is able to be described as a two‐dimensional network made up of Mo–CN–Cu–NC–Mo squares that bear pendant Mn complexes. Despite the presence of the Mo/Cu photomagnetic pair and large uniaxial anisotropy, no long‐lived metastable state was observed upon light irradiation. Nevertheless, the compound led to novel magnetic materials as well as advances in the study of charge‐transfer complexes.
