Tailoring π--d$\pi {\text{--}}d$ Magnetic Interactions in Metallated Porphyrin Nanotapes
To understand how π$\pi$-radicals and d$d$-electrons interact within molecular nanostructures, we have studied metallated porphyrin nanotapes synthesized on gold surfaces. We reveal element-specific ....

200 years ago M. Faraday discovered benzene, but we are still learning about it. Just published in #ACSNano @pubs.acs.org, we show that direct interaction over 1 nm orders a network of benzene rotors mounted on triangular platforms. @uni-kiel.de @cfmdonostia.bsky.social pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

We show an electrically controlled Fe–FePc molecular spin switch that reversibly changes its magnetic state and shifts a nearby spin’s resonance, showing potential of scalable, electrically tunable molecular quantum devices.
