Axis, defined by the bridge atoms, is preferred one.
Direct bond between central cobalt and surface copper results in zero magnetization.
Most intense signal in STM-images above the cobalt, because of the weakly bonded d-electrons.
Considering that the cobalt LUMO (Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital) is partly occupied yields good agreement between theory and experiment.

Co-Phthalocyanine – Co(111)Co-Phthalocyanine – Co(111)
Cobalt is magnetic at low temperatures
Stronger interaction between CoPc and surface
Significant differences between Spin Up and Spin Down
Cobalt LUMO (dz²) again partly occupied=> reduced magnetic moment
At EF mainly minority-states
The CoPc is coupled ferromagnetically to the surface=> – 2. Goodenough-Kanamori rule for direct exchange – Superexchange through the inner nitrogen
