Direct Observation of Single-Molecule Magnets Organized on Gold Surfaces

Scanning tunneling microscopy can be utilized to individually probe single‐molecule magnets that have been deposited on gold substrates (see schematic). Dilute solutions (in THF/H2O/NH4OH) of a dodecamanganese(III,IV) cluster surrounded by acetyl‐protected thiol groups, [Mn12O12(L)16(H2O)4], have be...

Zusammenfassung:Scanning tunneling microscopy can be utilized to individually probe single‐molecule magnets that have been deposited on gold substrates (see schematic). Dilute solutions (in THF/H2O/NH4OH) of a dodecamanganese(III,IV) cluster surrounded by acetyl‐protected thiol groups, [Mn12O12(L)16(H2O)4], have been used to prepare Au(111) adsorbates that are a first step towards ultra‐high‐density information storage using single‐molecule magnets.
