The novel, stable, one‐dimensional coordination polymer [Hg 3 (dmap) 6 ( μ ‐OAc) 2 ] n {(ClO 4 ) 4 } n ( 1 ; dmap = 4‐(dimethylamino)pyridine) has been synthesized and characterized. Single‐crystal X‐ray analysis showed that the coordination sphere of the two pertinent, zig‐zag‐oriented Hg II ‐atoms is different. One type of Hg‐atom in the N 2 O 4 HgHgN 2 O 4 environment is seven‐coordinate, with a weak HgHg interaction. The other type of Hg II ‐atom in the trans ‐HgN 2 O 4 units is six‐coordinate.
