The cover picture shows the “cluster inside a ring” core of the complex discussed in the article, whose structure is even more clearly depicted in its shadow. The salicyloximate and pyridyloximate family of ligands are key in the study of single‐molecule magnet (SMM) response, because they are able to generate high‐spin/high‐nuclearity clusters. In this case the reaction of an azide anion with 2‐pyridylcyanoxime, mediated by Mn II cations, yields a new tetrazole ligand and one high‐nuclearity cluster with this unprecedented core. Details are discussed in the Short Communication by A. Escuer et al. on p. 1326 ff . For more on the story behind the cover research, see the Cover Profile .
