説明:

Frustrated spin systems, where competing interactions prevent conventional magnetic ordering, provide a platform for uncovering emergent quantum phases and exotic many-body phenomena. Particularly, low-dimensional and symmetric geometries without boundary conditions allow us to study the unconventional spin states. Here, we present S = 1/2 anti-ferromagnetic Heisenberg cyclic pentamer and hexamer via homocoupling of air-stable phenalenyl derivatives on Au(111). With a combination of scanning tunnelling microscopy/scanning tunnelling spectroscopy at 4.3 K and compre-hensive theoretical simulations, we found that while large magnetic exchange interactions exist in both rings, the pen-tamer features an increased geometric frustration of the system. This frustration induces rotational symmetry in the spin wavefunction, leading to a four-fold degenerate ground states of the pentamer. The interplay between molecular geometry and magnetic interactions creates the unique quantum spin environment. Our findings offer a powerful approach for constructing spin-frustrated molecular architectures, allowing precise control over quantum magnetic interactions.
