Nature Chemistry, Published online: 23 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41557-026-02131-8 Molecular frameworks featuring perovskite-related topologies rarely exhibit strong magnetic correlations and high-temperature magnetic order. Now it has been shown that the cubic molecular framework Cr(pyrazine)3 exhibits persistent compensated ferrimagnetism with oxide-strength magnetic coupling and nearly zero net moment. The ferrimagnetism is sustained across a broad temperature range and extends well above room
