Researchers were able to demonstrate for the first time that non-covalent bonds between spin centers are also capable of producing quartet states through spin mixing. Supramolecular chemistry is thus a valuable tool for the research, development and scaling of new materials for quantum technologies.
The Franco-German research team, including members from the University of Freiburg, shows that supramolecular chemistry enables efficient spin communication through hydrogen bonds.
Researchers at the Institute of Physical Chemistry at the University of Freiburg and the Institut Charles Sadron at the University of Strasbourg have now been able to show for the first time that non-covalent bonds can allow for efficient spin communication. To do this, the scientists used a model system consisting of a perylenediimide chromophore and a nitroxide radical that self-assemble into functional units in solution by means of hydrogen bonds.
