Deposition of exchange-coupled dinickel complexes on gold substrates utilizing ambidentate mercapto-carboxylato ligands.

ABSTRACT: The chemisorption of magnetically bistable transition metal complexes on planar surfaces has recently attracted increased scientific interest due to its potential application in various fields, including molecular spintronics. In this work, the synthesis of mixed-ligand complexes of the type [Ni^II₂L(L')](ClO₄), where L represents a 24-membered macrocyclic hexaazadithiophenolate ligand and L' is a ω-mercapto-carboxylato ligand (L' = HS(CH₂)₅CO₂^- (6), HS(CH₂)₁₀CO₂^- (7), or HS(C₆H₄)₂CO₂^- (8)), and their ability to adsorb on gold surfaces is reported. Besides elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, elec
