The electronic structure of magnetic molecular materials such as metal phthalocyanines (MPc) systems has been investigated by means of soft X-ray absorption, photoemission and resonant photoemission spectroscopy.
In these systems, a transition metal ion is incorpaorated into the center of a phthalocyanine complex, that determines all magnetic properties of the molecule. Even though various suggestions on the ground state structure of these MPc's have been proposed, no satisfactory picture could be derived, yet. Only the corresponding spin is well known, including the unusual intermediate spin state for FePc and MnPc. With the help of these spectroscopic methods for different polarisation and temperatures, we shed a brighter light on the electronic structure of various MPc's and, together with theoretical calculations, clarify the exact structure of their ground and excited states.
