Spintronic devices based on molecules are a promising approach for the future of information technology. Recently we showed that Co-salophenes can be used for the fabrication of such a device on Au(111) [1]. The basic building blocks for this device are 2Br-Co-salophenes and 3Br-3Co-salophenes. These molecules can be covalently linked by the use of an on-surface Ullmann reaction. On the Au(111)-surface the Kondo effect inhibits the control of the molecules' magnetic centers by an external magnetic field. Therefore we are searching for a different substrate material, on which all properties of the molecules are preserved, excluding the Kondo screening.
In this talk I will present STM studies on the electronic properties of single molecules as well as molecular chains formed by Ullmann reaction on Ag(111). The results show that the electronic structure of the molecules is promising for a working spintronic device, and that there is no Kondo effect on the Ag(111)-substrate.
