An exchange interaction of polaronic carriers with localized spins leads to a new ferromagnetic transition in doped charge-transfer insulators with strong electron–phonon coupling. The relative strength of the exchange and electron–phonon interactions determines whether the transition is first or second order. A giant drop in the number of current carriers during the transition, which is a consequence of bipolaron formation in the paramagnetic phase, is extremely sensitive to an external magnetic field. We show that the carrier density collapse describes the colossal magnetoresistance, anomalous specific heat, and tunneling gap of doped manganites close to the transition. The dependence of the binding energy on ion mass explains the giant isotope effect in magnetization and resistivity upon substitution of 16O by 18O.
