Spin dynamics and long phase-memory times in structurally distinct non-oxido vanadium(IV) complexes with rigid ligand frameworks relevant to molecular qubits

Key Points

• The study aims to investigate the spin dynamics and phase-memory times in distinct non-oxido vanadium(IV) complexes.
• Analyzed two non-oxido V(IV) complexes with different coordination geometries.
• Utilized single-crystal X-ray diffraction for structural elucidation.
• Assessed thermal stability of the compounds.
• Both complexes exhibited long phase-memory times.
• Each complex displayed distinct coordination geometries: distorted octahedral and distorted trigonal prismatic.
• The findings indicate potential applications in quantum computing as molecular qubits.
