Lately, a polymerization of well-aligned organic nanowires was presented on a magnetic GdAu2 surface alloy [1]. Apart from growing graphene on, i.e., a Ni surface, this was the first successful approach to a surface catalyzed reaction on a magnetic substrate. Such a ferromagnetic substrate in combination with magnetic molecules offers a very interesting interface for spintronic applications.
Here, we will present the growth behaviour of Co-salophene oligomers on the GdAu2 surface alloy prepared on a Au(111) substrate. By combining spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism we have revealed the evolution of the spin-* state residing on the Co-centers of the salophene molecules upon adsorption and thermally activated Ullmann coupling.
