Spiraling into control : A finite linear arrangement of four magnetically coupled copper( II ) centers has been generated within a triple‐stranded helical motif that was formed through a strict self‐assembly process between a single octadentate ligand and Cu II ions (see picture). This approach opens the way to constructing finite one‐dimensional magnetic chains in a controlled manner.
