الوصف: Open-shell benzenoid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, known as magnetic nanographenes, exhibit unconventional p-magnetism arising from topological frustration or strong electronic-electron (e-e) interaction. Imprinting multiple strongly entangled spins into polyradical nanographenes creates a major paradigm shift in realizing non-trivial collective quantum behaviors and exotic quantum phases in organic quantum materials. However, conventional design approaches are limited by a single magnetic origin, which can restrict the number of correlated spins or the type of magnetic ordering in open-shell nanographenes. Here, we present a novel design strategy combing topological frustration and e-e interactions to fabricate the largest fully-fused open-shell nanographene reported to date, a 'butterfly'-shaped tetraradical on Au(111). We employed bond-resolved scanning tunneling microscopy and spin excitation spectroscopy to unambiguously resolve the molecular backbone and reveal the strongly correlated open-shell character, respectively. This nanographene contains four unpaired electrons with both ferromagnetic and anti-ferromagnetic interactions, harboring a many-body singlet ground state and strong multi-spin entanglement, which can be well described by many-body calculations. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the nickelocene magnetic probe can sense highly-correlated spin states in nanographene. The ability to imprint and characterize many-body strongly correlated spins in polyradical nanographenes not only presents exciting opportunities for realizing non-trivial quantum magnetism and phases in organic materials but also paves the way toward high-density ultrafast spintronic devices and quantum information technologies.
