Abstract
Angular dependent electron spin resonance measurements were taken for paramagnetic molecules adsorbed on metallic single crystal surfaces in UHV. For the hydrated Cu(NO 3) 2 complex on a Cu[111] surface an angular dependent ESR signal is recorded. The plane ofthe molecule is found to lie preferentially out of the surface plane. Experiments on chemisorbed molecular O 2 on Ag[110] at 25 K and NO on Pt[111] at 110 K show no sharp ESR signal characteristic for well localized moments. If one assumes that NO on Pt (respectively Pd) carries an unpaired spin, one can estimate a lower limit for the spin flip rate of π −1>2×10 9s −.
