The bonding of metal-organic molecules to a substrate induces molecular ligand spin states, which lead to an intramolecular conductance and spin dynamics [1]. However, the intramolecular spin coupling has not been studied in detail at molecular scale yet. Here we use a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope (STM) to study cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) molecules on a 2H-NbSe2 substrate. We observe that there are two kinds of adsorbed CoPc molecules due to two slightly different adsorption geometries. While one behaves like a S = 1/2 system which introduces Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states in the superconducting gap of the substrate [2], the other behaves like an effective S = 0 system which shows a singlet-triplet transition at about 23 meV due to the antiferromagnetic coupling between the central Co atom of the metal-organic complex and its ligands.
