surfaces; macrocycliccomplexes; mercapto-alkanecarboxylic acid; Introduction
The deposition of switchable transition metal complexes on Au surfaces is a topical research area [1][2][3][4] due to the many potential applications such as storage of information at the molecular level [5][6][7] and in the
macrocycliccomplexes have not been anchored to gold via ambidentate mercaptobenzoate ligands. However, polynuclear Mn12 complexes have been fixed to gold via perfluorinated mercaptobenzoate linkers [42].
