Abstract

The incorporation of thioether groups in the structure of a Mn₁₂ single-molecule magnet, [Mn₁₂O₁₂(L)₁₆(H₂O)₄] with L = 4-(methylthio)benzoate, is a successful route to the deposition of well-separated clusters on native gold surfaces and to the addressing of individual molecules by scanning tunnelling microscopy.
