      abstract     = {The controlled and intact deposition of molecules with
                      specific properties onto surfaces is an emergent field
                      impacting a wide range of applications including catalysis,
                      molecular electronics, and quantum information processing.
                      One strategy is to introduce grafting groups functionalized
                      to anchor to a specific surface. While thiols and disulfides
                      have proven to be quite effective in combination with gold
                      surfaces, other S-containing groups have received much less
                      attention. Here, we investigate the surface anchoring and
                      organizing capabilities of novel charge-neutral heterocyclic
                      thioether groups as ligands of polynuclear nickel(II)
                      complexes. We report on the deposition of a cubane-type
                      {Ni4} (= [Ni(μ3-Cl)Cl(HL·S)]4) single-molecule magnet from
                      dichloromethane solution on a Au(111) surface, investigated
                      by scanning tunneling microscopy, X-ray photoelectron
                      spectroscopy, and low-energy electron diffraction, both
                      immediately after deposition and after subsequent
                      post-annealing. The results provide strong evidence for
                      partial decomposition of the coordination complex upon
                      deposition on the Au(111) surface that, however, leaves the
                      magnetic {Ni4Cl4n} (n = 1 or 2) core intact. Only
                      post-annealing above 480 K induces further decomposition and
                      fragmentation of the {Ni4Cl4n} core. The detailed insight
                      into the chemisorption-induced decomposition pathway not
                      only provides guidelines for the deposition of
                      thioether-functionalized Ni(II) complexes on metallic
                      surfaces but also reveals opportunities to use multidentate
                      organic ligands decorated with thioether groups as
                      transporters for highly unstable inorganic structures onto
                      conducting surfaces, where they are stabilized retaining
                      appealing electronic and magnetic properties.},
