In this work, we introduce a novel quMOF, {[(Gd)3(mCB-L)4(NO3)(DMF)x]n·Solv}, constructed with a carborane linker and Gd(III) ions at three distinct coordination sites. We thoroughly characterize its magneto-thermal properties using dc/ac magnetometry, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, X-ray magnetic circular dichroism, and heat capacity measurements. The quantum computing potential is demonstrated through ab initio calculations and pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance on GdY-diluted analogues, revealing Tm= 0.7 μs and Rabi oscillations persisting up to 50 K. Each of the three isolated Gd(i) sites in GdY-MOFs functions as an 8-level qudit, accessible via X-band transitions. Notably, the triple-site Gd3 quMOF provides an unprecedented qudit with d = (2S + 1)3 = 512 states, capable of encoding up to 9 qubits, marking a significant advance in the scalability of molecular-based quantum computing. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/AEI/CEX2023-001263-S info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/E09-23R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/E12-23R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2021-127287NB-I00 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2022-136892NB-I00 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2022-138492NB-I00 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICIU/CEX2023-001286-S info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICIU/PRTR-C17.I1 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Li, Xiao-Bao Arauzo, Ana Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-5999-341X Luzón, Javier Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-9208-0807 García-Rubio, Inés (orcid)0000-0002-1827-1250 Planas, José Giner 2003 395 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
