| contents | Achieving long-range ferrimagnetic order in purely organic systems remains a major challenge in molecular magnetism. Here we report the synthesis and characterization of heterospin-coupling motifs, formed by covalently linking spin-1/2 and spin-1 triangular nanographenes. A combined solution-phase and on-surface synthetic strategy yields three distinct compounds, whose structures are elucidated by bond-resolved scanning probe microscopy. Starting from a spin-1/2--spin-1 dimer as the elemental ferrimagnetic unit, we employ inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy to resolve low-energy magnetic excitations and extract the parameters of the Heisenberg Hamiltonian. Extension to trimeric architectures results in two distinct spin configurations, with compensated ($S=0$) and uncompensated ($S=3/2$) ferrimagnetic ground states. The Heisenberg model accurately describes all magnetic transitions, offering direct insight into increasingly complex spin Hamiltonians. These findings establish a molecular platform for designing tunable heterospin systems with robust exchange interactions, opening routes toward multi-level spin encoding in qudit-based quantum technologies. |
