Magnetic coupling and the magnetic anisotropy of localized 4f magnetic moments connected via organic ligands in molecular networks are a highly topical field of research owing to potential applications in organic spintronics [1-3]. We investigated organometallic sandwich-molecular nanowires of europium-cyclooctatetraene (EuCot) on graphene/Ir(111) by means of x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) down to 2.5 K. Using temperature-, angular-, and field-dependent europium M4,5-edge XMCD measurements we studied two different coverages, namely 0.5 and 2.0 monolayers (ML) of EuCot. The comparison of the XMCD spectra of the submonolayer EuCot sample with the multilayer sample shows pronounced differences, resulting in different orbital moments. Furthermore, for the submonolayer coverage we determine a clearly different functional behavior of the field-dependent XMCD data for normal and grazing x-ray incidence, whereas no anisotropic behavior is found for the 2.0-ML sample.
