Transition metal complexes with exchange-coupled open-shell metal ions have attracted attention in the last decade. In such systems, spin relaxation time enhancement can provide a route to nanoscale spintronic devices. Because of their mostly low thermal stability, such molecules must be prepared by solvent based methods to investigate the electronic structure on metallic substrates,. We will demonstrate different UHV compatible preparation setups to prepare ultra-thin layers of the solvent based metallacrown complex CuCu4 [1] on a Au(111) surface. Furthermore, we show how a multi-method approach of vibrational spectroscopy and complete photoelectron spectroscopy (X-ray, UV, and inverse photoemission) can be used to demonstrate the integrity of the molecules during the adsorption process as well as the evolution of the electronic structure of this molecule in comparison with theoretical single molecule calculations.
