The cover picture shows the crystal structure of Cu II (hfac) 2 (TTF‐py) 2 (BF 4 ) 2 where hfac is hexafluoroacetylacetonate and TTF‐py is 4‐(2‐tetrathiafulvalenylethenyl)pyridine. This compound is an example arising from a new strategy for the design of new multifunctional materials in which the conducting and magnetic systems are covalently linked through a π‐conjugated bridge. A synergy between electron transport and magnetism is produced by long‐range magnetic coupling between localized spins through the mobile π‐electrons of the conducting networks. Details are discussed in the Microreview by L. Ouahab and T. Enoki on page 933 ff.
