A binary selenido mercurate anion exhibiting a novel metalate topology was obtained as its salt (C 4 C 1 Im) 6 [Hg 7 Se 10 ] ( 1 ) upon treatment of the ternary selenido mercurate K 2 [Hg 2 Se 3 ] in the ionic liquid (C 4 C 1 Im)[BF 4 ] (C 4 C 1 Im = 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium) in the presence of small amounts of 1,2‐diaminoethane (en) at slightly elevated temperatures (80 °C). The three‐dimensionally extended anionic substructure was disassembled this way with formation of the unprecedented heptanuclear anion [Hg 7 Se 10 ] 6– . The light yellow crystals of 1 are extremely sensitive to air and moisture. The structure of 1 was determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, and its heavy element composition was analyzed and confirmed by micro X‐ray fluorescence spectroscopy (μ‐XFS).
