Joel Miller, Peter Stephens, and co‐workers report on p. 2514 on Mn II (TCNE) 3/2 I 3/2 (TCNE = tetracyanoethylene), which is a ferrimagnet at a surprisingly high temperature of 0 °C under pressure. It has a 3D network structure with each Mn ion coordinated to six TCNE radicals, leading to strong spin coupling and ferrimagnetic behavior. This composition/structure is the Rosetta stone for understanding several organic‐based magnets by providing insight into the design/control of the magnetic interactions needed to develop enhanced materials combining magnetism with other technologically important properties.
