Supramolecular Spintronic Devices Magnetic moelcules have recently attracted interest in view of their potential to realize nanometre-sized (single-)molecular spintronic devices by a combination of bottom-up self-assembly and top-down lithography techniques. We report herein on the controlled generation of magnetic molecular nanostructures on conducting surfaces, partially self-assembled on sp2-carbon nano-structures (SW-CNTs, graphene), or between nano-gap gold electrodes. The obtained supramolecular devices are investigated in view of their I-V- characteristics by means of UHV- and solution-based scanning probe, break junction and electromigration techniques. **References** [1] _Nano Lett._ **2008** , 3364.
