The background scanning electron microscopy image shows nanometric patterns of the 3D spin crossover coordination polymer Fe(pyrazine)[Pt(CN) 4 ] (see schematic structure in the circle), which have been fabricated using a combination of lift‐off and multilayer sequential assembly methods. These patterns, reported by Gábor Molnár, Azzedine Bousseksou, and co‐workers on p. 2163, exhibit a bistability of their electronic states ( 1 A 1 ⇌ 5 T 2 ), and thus represent a novel platform for a wide array of potential applications.
