Abstract:We demonstrate that a nonmagnetic
molecule is changed
into magnetic
when its internal structure is rotated by forming an ordered film
on a metal surface. We used a double-decker complex, bis(phthalocyaninato)cerium
(CePc2), where the valence of the Ce atom changes between
+3 and +4 with a small energy barrier. CePc2 is nonmagnetic
in bulk and becomes magnetic in the monolayer film on Au(111). The
intra-molecular structure and the magnetic property are revealed using
scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy… Show more
“…Complexes 1 and 2 were prepared according to previously reported literature procedures. 48,[51][52][53] Synthesis of TBA + [Ce(obPc The following was performed to obtain a single crystal. A mixture of Ce(obPc) 2 (0.78 mg), DMSO (0.58 mL), and N 2 H 4 •H 2 O (0.02 mL) was heated at 120 °C for 1 h, affording a blue solution of the anionic double-decker complex ([Ce (obPc) 2 ] − ).…”

“…This observation implies that IET can be regulated through the manipulation of the interface. 53,87 XAFS allows element-selective measurements, from which information on the local structure and electronic states can be obtained. XAFS spectra are analysed in the energy region from the absorption edge, divided into XANES (from the absorption edge to about 50 eV) and EXAFS (from the XANES region to about 1000 eV).…”
“…ESI-MS: m/z 1164.20 [M + ] (calcd.1164.21)". 53 The cerium(III) double-decker complex TBA + [Ce(Pc) 2 ] − (2) was prepared by adding Ce(Pc) 2 (78 mg, 0.067 mmol) and 1.2 mL of N 2 H 4 •H 2 O to 30 mL of DMSO, heating to boiling with a heat gun, and sonicating for 30 min until the green neutral form completely disappeared to afford a blue solution, which is the colour of the anionic form [Ce(Pc) 2 ] − . TBA•Br (600 mg) was added to the above solution, and then the solution was heated with a heat gun and sonicated for 30 min.…”
