By harnessing the atomic precision of Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) in tandem with Electron Spin Resonance (ESR), we show in this work that artificially built atom-molecule hybrids extend the scope of future building blocks towards more versatile qubit structures. Specifically, our focus is on a magnetic system comprising an iron phthalocyanine (FePc) molecule and an Fe atom, resulting in a mixed spin(1/2,1) antiferromagnetically coupled Heisenberg system. This chemical complex shows properties attributed to a spin-1/2 system, which we characterize by driving it into coherently controlled ESR. By using both pump-probe measurements and coherent control techniques, we find a remarkable enhancement in the relaxation time of the hybrid, reaching approximately 1us. This significantly surpasses the values of pristine FePc [1,2] and we attribute this enhancement to the correlation between the two spins in the dimer as well as to enhanced potential scattering.
