Forget me not : In a new multiferroic metal–organic framework (see structure, Cu green, O red, C black, N blue, H gray; arrows show spin configuration), Jahn–Teller and antiferro‐distortions induce a switchable ferroelectric polarization, which is coupled to a weak ferromagnetic component. This true magnetoelectric multiferroic should be very attractive for advanced memory devices.
