Examples are rectangular nanographenes with short zigzag edges, armchair ribbon heterojunctions topological states, and islands $s{p}^{3}$ functionalization. The interplay between the hybridization modes Coulomb repulsion leads symmetric exchange interaction favors singlet ground state. Application an...
The combination of open-shell nanographenes (NGs) and magnetic transition metals holds great promise for generating various new quantum phases applicable in spintronics information technologies. However, a crucial aspect accomplishing this is to comprehend the exchange interactions between unpaired π- d-electrons, topic that has been seldom addressed. In study, we focus on π-d NGs coordination center Fe or Co by employing scanning tunneling microscopy spectroscopy. We synthesize two sets...

Triangulenes are prototypical examples of open-shell nanographenes. Their magnetic properties, arising from the presence unpaired π electrons, can be extensively tuned by modifying their size and shape or introducing heteroatoms. Different triangulene derivatives have been designed synthesized in recent years thanks to development on-surface synthesis strategies. Triangulene-based nanostructures with polyradical character, hosting several interacting spin units, challenging fabricate but...
