Cyclodextrin ligands were shown to act as supports for the synthesis of a family of six‐, seven‐, and eight‐membered oxovanadium ring complexes. The three complexes gave a perfect opportunity to probe the magnetic ground states of even‐ and odd‐membered antiferromagnetically coupled homospin ring systems. The seven‐membered ring is an extremely rare example of a real spin Möbius strip, and provides the focus of the cover art, in which its structural silhouette and magnetization plots are overlaid by another heptagonal anomaly: a UK 50 pence piece.
