| contents | In the quest for high-spin building blocks to form covalently bonded 1D or 2D materials with controlled magnetic interactions, $π$-electron magnetism provides an ideal framework to engineer large ferromagnetic interactions between nanographenes. As a first step in this direction, we investigate the spin properties of ferromagnetically coupled triangulenes, triangular nanographenes with spin $S = 1$. Combining in-solution synthesis of rationally designed molecular precursors and on-surface synthesis, we achieve covalently bonded $S = 2$ triangulene dimers and $S = 3$ trimers on Au(111). Starting from the triangulene dimer, we thoroughly characterize its low-energy magnetic excitations using inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (IETS). IETS reveals conductance steps identified as a quintet to triplet excitation, and a zero-bias peak stemming from higher-order spin-spin scattering of the 5-fold degenerate ferromagnetic ground state. The Heisenberg picture captures the relevant parameters of inter-triangulene ferromagnetic exchange, and its successful extension to the larger $S = 3$ system confirms the model's accuracy. We expect that the addition of ferromagnetically coupled building blocks to the toolbox of magnetic nanographenes opens new opportunities to design carbon materials with complex magnetic ground states. |
