A one‐electron‐oxidized Mo 2 Ni(dpa) 4 Cl 2 complex that displays strong ferromagnetic coupling between the two terminal metal atoms is depicted on the frontispiece and is represented as people talking on the phone about the physical characterization methods used to determine an S =3/2 ground state. The cat in between is not actively communicating, but is thinking about density functional theory calculations also used to support the experimental findings. The findings suggest a new means of spin coupling that may be valuable for the design of high‐spin molecules. For more information please see the Communication by J. A. Chipman and J. F. Berry on page 1494 ff.
