The field of carbon magnetism has gained an increased attention in view of the recent progress made in the synthesis and characterization of open-shell polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons following a bottom-up synthetic approach. In this work, we introduce an exemplary approach toward the bottom-up fabrication of unprecedented magnetic porphyrinoid-based polymers homocoupled via surface-catalyzed [3 + 3] cycloaromatization of isopropyl substituents studied on Au(111) under ultra-high vacuum conditions. The chemical structure of the polymer, formed by thermal-activated intra- and intermolecular oxidative ring closure reactions followed by controlled tip-induced hydrogen dissociation from the porphyrinoid units, have been clearly elucidated by scanning tunneling microscopy and non-contact atomic force microscopy. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy, complemented by computational investigations reveals the antiferromagnetic singlet ground state (S=0), which display singlet-triplet inelastic excitations observed between spins of adjacent porphyrinoid units only along a specific π-conjugation pathway. We envision that our approach can be a highly relevant in nanoscale spintronic devices.
