Lanthanide complexes are promising candidates for spintronic applications due to their unique magnetic properties like e.g. strong magnetic anisotropy, high magnetic moment, and slow relaxation of magnetization. By means of X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) at T=4.5 K and B=6 T we find that Dy-tris(1,1,1-trifluoro-4-(2-thienyl)-2,4-butanedionate) molecules on Au(111) display an easy-axis anisotropy parallel to the surface. Upon adsorption, the coordination of the Dy3+ ion by its three ligands is deformed due to the interaction with the surface, stabilizing an unusual MJ=15/2 ground state (GS). Due to its cylindrical charge density distribution such a GS is disfavored in the free complex as well as in Dy-bis(phthalocyaninato) complexes where MJ=13/2 GSs are observed. — This work is supported by the DFG through Sfb 658.
