A combination of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and current imaging tunneling spectroscopy (CITS) has been performed on a Zn(II) coordination polymer ([Zn(L)(Cl)]n) and on a Co(II) cubane ([Co4(HL)4(Cl)4]). Both were deposited onto highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG). In the case of the Zn(II) coordination polymer thick strands as well as single polymer lines were observed. For the Co(II) cubane single molecules were observed. In CITS measurements we found a rather large contrast at the expected location of the Zn and Co metal centers, respectively. This demonstrates that the position of the metal centers within the molecule can be mapped. We discuss local tunneling spectroscopy data.
