Single molecule magnets (SMMs) are attractive for the potential applications of high‐density data storage in molecular scale. The major obstacle is the low operating temperature. Recently, this temperature was largely increased up to 60 K, reaching liquid nitrogen temperature (77 K). This particular complex is a single ion magnet (SIM), because it consists of only one paramagnetic centre. SIMs could serve as a simplified model for the investigation of the slow relaxation behaviour, and the prototype for the establishment of further SMMs with magnetic exchanges. See the Minireview of the development of SIMs and the possible ligand field strategies by M.‐L. Tong et al. on page 7574 ff.
