Spin Crossover complexes: from synthesis to surface assembly

In this thesis various spin crossover complexes have been synthesized and nanostructured using various techniques. Thermal high vacuum sublimation and chemisorption through hydrosilylation have been used to fabricate the nanomaterials. Characterization of the obtained nanostructures has been performed by using surface-sensitive spectroscopic techniques (XPS and XAS). Furthermore, a spin crossover-based nanomaterial has been integrated in a nanojunction.
