King of the spins is provided by the mixed‐valent Mn 19 aggregate as reported by A. K. Powell et al. in their Communication on page 4926 ff. The use of bridging azido ligands leads to a completely ferromagnetically coupled system with a record ground spin state of 83/2. This remarkable molecule has been investigated and characterized by scientists from three laboratories working together in the European Network of Excellence “MAGMANet”, the logo of which provides the background to the cover picture.
