We report here on the molecular self-assembly of 7, 7', 8, 8' tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) (schematic representation of the molecule on figure 1(b)) on a single-crystal Cu(111) surface, followed by deposition of Fe and Mn, and on the formation of an ordered metal-organic coordination network of Fe (or Mn)-TCNQ units, which contains magnetic ions separated by 0.9 nm.
