Among the multitude of properties realized in organic compounds due to the chemical versatility of carbon, magnetism remains one of the most challenging. The electronic structure of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (nanographenes) depends critically on the topology of the underlying π-electron network, which provides a tunable platform to realize all-carbon magnetism at the nanoscale.
Combining rational design principles with on-surface synthesis, we engineer and probe emergent magnetism in elusive magnetic nanographenes, namely, Clar's goblet [1] and extended triangulenes [2], and their covalently-bonded assemblies. Our experimental approach follows low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy, with further insights provided by mean-field and many-body perturbation theory calculations.
