abstract = {Advanced functionality in molecular electronics and
spintronics is orchestrated by exact molecular arrangements
at metal surfaces, but the strategies for constructing such
arrangements remain limited. Here, we report the synthesis
and surface hybridization of a cyclophane that comprises two
pyrene groups fastened together by two ferrocene pillars.
Crystallographic structure analysis revealed pyrene planes
separated by ∼352 pm and stacked in an eclipsed geometry
that approximates the rare configuration of AA-stacked
bilayer graphene. We deposited this cyclophane onto surfaces
of Cu(111) and Co(111) at submonolayer coverage and studied
the resulting hybrid entities with scanning tunnelling
microscopy (STM). We found distinct characteristics of this
cyclophane on each metal surface: on non-magnetic Cu(111),
physisorption occurred and the two pyrene groups remained
electronically coupled to each other; on ferromagnetic
Co(111) nanoislands, chemisorption occurred and the two
pyrene groups became electronically decoupled.
Spin-polarized STM measurements revealed that the ferrocene
groups had spin polarization opposite to that of the
surrounding Co metal, while the pyrene stack had no spin
polarization. Comparisons to the non-stacked analogue
comprising only one pyrene group bolster our interpretation
of the cyclophane's STM features. The design strategy
presented herein can be extended to realize versatile,
three-dimensional platforms in single-molecule electronics
and spintronics.},
