Molecular spins exhibiting robust quantum coherence are a promising resource in quantum technologies. Their processability allows for deposition on surface and tuning of the molecule-surface interactions. The control of the spin at the level of the single molecular qubit requires going beyond the use of magnetic fields. Electric fields, on the contrary, can be confined at the level of the single molecule, but the mechanisms of spin-electric coupling in molecules are not widely explored, especially for materials where the orbital contribution is minimized to enhance coherence. Of particular relevance to the realization of quantum gates and scalable architec-tures is the possibility of electric-field tuning of qubit interactions. Equally relevant is the addition of an optical interface to the qubit. Recent achievements along these directions will be presented. They will include light-induced nuclear and electron spin polarization and light-activated qubit-qubit interaction in vanadyl-porphyrin systems.The key role of structural chirality in achieving spin control at the molecular scale will also be discussed. Challenges and opportunities in 4f chemistry will be discussed.

Nucleic acids represent the pillars of molecular biology, not only due to their role in the storage and transmission of genetic information. Their ability to adopt secondary structures characterized by non-canonical geometries endows these biomolecules with self-organization and molecular recognition properties of great chemical interest. Such features have enabled the use of nucleic acids as programmable molecular scaffolds for the design of biomaterials and supramolecular nanostructures, with potential applications in the development of nanodevices and molecular-scale functional components.

The author developed a new way to grow highly ordered organic thin films by using ultra-narrow graphene nanoribbons as a guiding template. These nanoribbons act like tiny rails that force the molecules deposited on top to align in the same direction. As a result, the molecular film becomes strongly ordered along one direction, which changes how it absorbs light and how electric charges move through it. The authors showed that this alignment improves the internal organization of the material and allows electrical current to flow more easily in one direction than the other. This approach provides a new strategy to control the structure and electronic properties of organic semiconductor films, which could be useful for improving future optoelectronic devices such as organic transistors and sensors.
