The thermal and light‐induced magnetic properties of a family of discrete magnetically switchable “nanoball” species (3 nm in diameter) is reported. The self‐assembly of these materials is accomplished by the use of the metallo building block, [Cu([Tp 4‐py ])(NCCH 3 )] ([Tp 4‐py ]=tris‐[3‐(4'‐pyridyl)pyrazol‐1‐yl]hydroborate), combined with a [Fe(NCX) 2 ] (X=S, Se and BH 3 ) species. We previously showed that the thiocyanate analogue ( Fe(NCS)‐nano ) undergoes a thermal and light‐induced spin crossover (SCO)—the largest such discrete SCO material reported. Now included in this family are the Se and BH 3 analogues, Fe(NCSe)‐nano and Fe(NCBH 3 )‐nano , which show increased thermal transition temperatures ( T 1/2 =124 K, 162 and 173 K). This variation in transition temperature over the series S
