DEIMOS scientists and associates from the IMPMC (Pierre et Marie Curie University), in collaboration with Roberta Sessoli research's group (Florence University), have succeeded in preparing oriented monolayer of single molecule magnet and, thanks to X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism measurements, have demonstrated that the magnetic properties and the quantum spin dynamics of these remarkable molecules were preserved.
