An eye for molecules on a surface. In the Full Paper by D. Gatteschi et al. on page 7530 ff., synchrotron light has been employed to investigate the chemical and magnetic nature of monolayers of sulfur-functionalized Mn12 clusters grafted on gold substrates to reveal significant reduction of the manganese atoms and the disappearance of the typical magnetic hysteresis.
