The Front Cover shows the ascending thermal spin crossover profile of one of a pair of enantiomerically pure Mn 3+ complexes set against the reflection of the Twelve Pins of Connemara, a mountain range in the West of Ireland. The chiral chelate Mn 3+ complex was resolved into lambda and delta enantiomers by co‐crystallization with the ( R , R ) and ( S , S ) forms of the spiroborate anion, thereby ensuring crystallization in a non‐centrosymmetric space group. This could facilitate integration of the spin switching property with other important functionalities requiring acentric crystals, such as second harmonic generation or ferroelectricity.
