Due to their electronic and magnetic properties in combination with their versatility, molecular systems promise high potential for future application in spintronic devices. Previously we showed that Co-salophenes can be used for the fabrication of an all-spin-based logic gate on Au(111) [1]. However, the Co-atoms within the salophene ligand are in the second oxidation state and therefore carry only spin 1/2. Other metal centers will have a different spin state and therefore might present stronger magnetic coupling within a chain of molecules created by the Ullmann coupling.
The chemical synthesis of complexes based on the salophene ligand in solution is a difficult task that bears the problem of getting a clean sample of the desired complex. Therefore, we performed on-surface metalation of an empty salophene ligand terminated with two H-atoms. During this procedure the creation of counter ions and other secondary products is highly improbable. Here, we present STM and STS studies on the on-surface metalated molecules, and their ex situ synthesized counterparts.
