abstract = {Our ability to understand and tailor metal-organic
interfaces is mandatory to functionalize organic complexes
for next generation electronic and spintronic devices. For
magnetic data storage applications, metal-carrying organic
molecules, the so-called single molecular magnets (SMM) are
of particular interest as they yield the possibility to
store information on the molecular scale. In this work, we
focus on the adsorption properties of the prototypical SMM
Sc3N@C80 grown in a monolayer film on the Ag(111) substrate.
We provide clear evidence of a pyramidal distortion of the
otherwise planar Sc3N core inside the carbon cage upon the
adsorption on the Ag(111) surface. This adsorption-induced
structural change of the Sc3N@C80 molecule can be correlated
to a charge transfer from the substrate into the lowest
unoccupied molecular orbital of Sc3N@C80, which
significantly alters the charge density of the fullerene
core. Our comprehensive characterization of the
Sc3N@C80-Ag(111) interface hence reveals an indirect
coupling mechanism between the Sc3N core of the fullerene
molecule and the noble metal surface mediated via an
interfacial charge transfer. Our work shows that such an
indirect coupling between the encapsulated metal centers of
SMM and metal surfaces can strongly affect the geometric
structure of the metallic centers and thereby potentially
also alters the magnetic properties of SMMs on surfaces.},
