Description

Here we show that the spin coherence of the sandwich complex [CpTi(cot)] survives for tens of ms at low temperature despite the presence of hydrogen atoms. This remarkable result stems from its electronic structure and spin-vibrational properties, here investigated by ab initio calculations and Terahertz spectroscopy. This evaporable molecule with dz2 singly-occupied orbital is a promising candidate to be employed as a highly coherent spin qubit and for single spin addressing.
