The cover picture shows two examples of the diverse physical properties observed in cyanide‐bridged molecular square complexes: multistep spin crossover and electron transfer coupled spin transition. Cyanide‐bridged squares can be considered to be the building blocks of Prussian Blue, which forms the backdrop of the image, and their discrete nature can allow easy access to multistable functionalities. The Microreview by H. Oshio et al. on p. 3031 ff. discusses the syntheses and physical properties of cyanide‐bridged molecular squares since the discovery of the first high‐spin example in 1999.
