Supramocular engineering on crystalline surfaces offers the possibility to fabricate networks with embedded metal centers having specific physicochemical properties. Here we report on the magnetic nature of individual Co atoms in 2D architectures providing different coordination environments probed with X-ray magnetic circular dichroism. Changing the coordination symmetry using related functional organic ligands strongly influences the magnetic characteristics of the metal center. While Co atoms with threefold coordination to carbonitriles show large magnetic moments, these vanish in the case of fourfold coordination to pyrrole ligands in a Co-porphyrin. Further modification of the magnetic properties by site-selective decoration of the individual Co centers by small Fe clusters will be discussed.
