Abstract
Molecule-based functional devices on surfaces may take advantage of bistable molecular switches. The conformational dynamics and efficiency of switches are radically different on surfaces compared to the liquid phase. We present a design of molecular layers which enables bistable switching on a surface and, for the first time, demonstrate control of a single switch in a dense and ordered array at the spatial limit. Up and down motion of a central Sn ion through the frame of a phthalocyanine molecule is achieved via resonant electron or hole injection into molecular orbitals.
