A porous molecular crystal with guest ethanol molecules, [Mn3(HCOO)6](C2H5OH), was found to be a new type of multifunctional molecular system, which exhibits a ferroelectric transition at 165 K and a ferrimagnetic transition at 8.5 K. [Mn3(HCOO)6](C2H5OH) will give a hint to design "multiferroic" molecular materials where ferroelectric and ferromagnetic orders coexist.
