DOIAbstract
Gold adsorbates of the dodecamanganese(III,IV) single-molecule magnet (SMM) [Mn12O12(L)16(H2O)4] whereL=16-(acetylthio)hexadecanoate have been prepared and investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy andscanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The successful imaging of Mn12 molecules by STM represents a first step towardthe magnetic addressing of individual SMMs and the development of molecule-based devices for magnetic informationstorage
