The last decade has witnessed that a rapidly developing field of quantum computing and quantum information processing (QC and QIP) is linked to chemistry in spite of the fact that molecular electron spin qubits (quantum bits) are the latest arrival among many physical qubits.[1] Referred to the linkage between chemistry and QC/QIP, importantly, recent QC/QIP approaches have shown that calculations of molecular properties can be assessable in terms of enormously increased computational power of QC/QIP, from the theoretical side.[1a, 2] Current QC/QIP research makes extensive progress using photon qubits,[3] trapped ions,[4] quantum dots,[5] and coherent coupling systems of superconducting flux qubits with nitrogen-vacancy color centers in diamond.[6] Interestingly, novel matter spin qubits based on metal complexes have been proposed in the field of molecular magnetism.[7] We propose a novel architecture of molecule-based electron spin qubits capable of performing Controlled-NOT (CNOT) quantum gates. The build-up of the multi-qubit system for such a practical quantum computer that is capable of breaking an RSA (algorithm for public-key cryptography) cryptograph used in modern internet services is conceived of as still an intractable issue in a decade of years ahead. Thus the scalability of qubits is relevant.[8] All the existing qubits have faced a challenge of acquiring their scalability. Lloyd s proposal seems to be practical in preparing a number of qubits for true quantum computers from a synthetic chemistry viewpoint.[9] From the chemistry side, a materials challenge for Lloyd s model has been made to synthesize triple-stranded helicates embedding open-shell transition-metal ions.[10] A mismatched DNA-backbonebased approach has also been exploited to build up onedimensional electron spin arrays with the radicals at desired positions using complementary hydrogen bonds between nucleic acids.[11] Electron spin qubits have an advantage of the preparation of initialized states, contrasting with the difficulty of nuclear spin qubits with low polarization intrinsic to their gyromagnetic ratios 103 times smaller than that of an electron spin.[12] The hybrid systems of the electron spin and the nuclear spin qubits have been studied, using advantages of both the electron spin and nuclear spin.[13] Figure1 shows a two-qubit biradical 1 designed as a fundamental unit of quantum computing that can afford CNOT gate operations, which are essentially important gates to constitute a universal set of quantum gates together with well-defined single qubit operations.[14] Biradical 1 is {(2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidin-N-oxyl-4-yl) 3, 5-dimethylbenzoate-4-yl} terephthalate, in which extremely weak exchange-coupling
