Organized nanoscale assemblies of metal-free organic magnets: Electronic structure and stability from ultra high vacuum to air exposure. — •Francesca Ciccullo, Reza Kakavandi, and Maria Benedetta Casu — Institute of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry, Tübingen, Germany

Metal-free organic-based magnets are relatively new materials with open-shell structure that may offer new opportunities for applications based on the presence of spatially delocalized unpaired electrons. Essential tools such as X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Near Edge X-ray Absorption Fine structure (NEXAFS) Spectroscopy are used to study the electronic structure and the paramagnetic character of nitronyl nitroxide radicals. The molecule-substrate interface and the thin film properties are investigated, focusing on their impact on the magnetic character of the systems. Our work also identifies a quantitative correlation between the results obtained by the simultaneous use of X-ray photoemission and electron spin resonance spectroscopy. This result can be used as a standard diagnostic tool in order to link the (in-situ-measured) electronic structure with classical ex-situ paramagnetic investigations.
