Spin-bearing metal-organic complexes on ferromagnetic substrates are interesting model-systems which allow studying the magnetism of individual magnetic ions in the proximity of a ferromagnetic metal. In our most recent work we have employed synthetically directed self-assembly to fabricate a highly ordered, two-dimensional chessboard-like supramolecular structure of Fe and Mn building-blocks which is exchange-coupled to a suitable ferromagnetic substrate. On-surface coordination-chemistry is then used to selectively control the spin-states in the resultant Fe-Mn-Fe spin-array. We have combined Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism (XMCD) experiments which provide local/spatially averaged and element-specific information, respectively. High resolution STM also yields direct visualization of the axial ligands at the phthalocyanine cores.
