Metal-organic networks offer the possibility to tune the electronic and magnetic functionality of surfaces on a nanometer scale. Here we use LT-STM to characterize the structure of metal-organic networks of transition metal atoms (Co, Fe) and triangular organic linkers, which exhibit either three pyridyl or three benzonitrile endgroups on Au(111). In the case of benzonitrile endgroups, the mixture with transition metal atoms leads to the formation of self-assembled ordered networks with a honeycomb structure. Every transition metal atom is surrounded by three benzonitrile groups forming three-fold coordination nodes. By changing the endgroups to pyridyl, the coordination motif changes significantly. The transition metal atoms exhibit the same in-plane coordination scheme with an additional molecule centered on top. The magnetic properties of the networks are investigated by XMCD measurements, which reveal that, despite their different structures, they all exhibit sizable magnetic moments and magnetic anisotropy.
