In Tb(Pc) 2 single‐molecule magnets, where Pc is phthalocyanine, adsorbed on magnesium oxide, the fluctuations of the terbium magnetic moment are strongly suppressed in contrast to the adsorption on silver. On page 5195, J. Dreiser and co‐workers investigate that the molecules are perfectly organized by self‐assembly, as seen in the scanning tunnelling microscopy image (top part of the design). The molecules are probed by circularly polarized X‐rays depicted as green spirals.
