Protecting individual qubits from decoherence and relaxation is one of the crucial challenges for quantum information processing. Both, individual atoms as well as magnetic molecules consisting of one central spin surrounded by ligands, are promising building blocks and offer a route for nanoscale spintronics and future quantum devices. Here, we explore the magnetic properties and spin dynamics of artificially built hybrids of atomic and molecular spins. The resulting magnetic system consisting of an FePc molecule coupled to an Fe atom, forms a mixed spin(1/2,1) Heisenberg antiferromagnet. We show that the strong exchange coupling leads to a ground-state doublet. Thus, this hybrid behaves effectively like a spin-1/2 system which can be driven into electron spin resonance by means of scanning tunneling microscopy. Strikingly, the relaxation time of the hybrid is significantly enhanced compared to pristine FePc reaching 1 µs. Moreover, we show by building dimers of hybrids that their spins can be coupled providing a path to realizing larger structures.
