Room Temperature Spin-Dependent Transport in 2D Hofmann-Type Single-Layer Network.

ABSTRACT: Room-temperature magnetoresistance effect is reported on a 2D molecular-based magnetic system using only one magnetic electrode, unlike the typical spin-valve systems with two magnetic electrodes. Charge transport is measured using a scanning tunneling microscope on a molecular monolayer of a Hofmann-type network consisting of a 2D [Pt(CN)₄Co]_x system. The layer is grown on a gold substrate by prior deposition of 4-(ethyldisulfaneyl)pyridine (EtS-Spy) so that the generated 4-pyridinethiyl radical (pyS), anchored to gold through S, coordinates the Co^II ions through the pyridine. The formation of the 2D [Pt(CN)₄Co]_x layer is verified by the presence of only bridging cyanide bands using vibrational spectroscopy. Employing a 4-mercaptopyri
