contents The molecular self-assembly and the magnetic properties of two cyclooctatetraenide (COT) - based single-ion magnets (SIM) adsorbed on Ag(100) in the sub-monolayer range are reported. Our study combines scanning-tunneling microscopy, X-ray photoemission spectroscopy and polarized X-ray absorption spectroscopy to show that Cp*ErCOT (Cp* = 1,2,3,4,5-pentamethylcyclopentadienide anion) SIMs self-assemble as alternating compact parallel rows including standing-up and lying-down conformations, following the main crystallographic directions of the substrate. Conversely, K[Er(COT)$_2$], obtained from subliming the [K(18-c-6)][Er(COT)$_2$]$\cdot$ 2THF salt, forms uniaxially ordered domains with the (COT)$^{2-}$ rings perpendicular to the substrate plane. The polarization-dependent X-ray absorption spectra reproduced by the multiX simulations suggest that the strong in-plane magnetic anisotropy of K[Er(COT)$_2$]/Ag(100) and the weak out-of-plane anisotropy of Cp*ErCOT/Ag(100) can be attributed to the strikingly different surface ordering of these two complexes. Compared to the bulk phase, surface-supported K[Er(COT)$_2$] exhibits a similarly large hysteresis opening, while the Cp*ErCOT shows a rather small opening. This result reveals that despite structural similarities, the two organometallic SMMs have strongly different magnetic properties when adsorbed on the metal substrate, attributed to the different orientations and the resulting interactions of the ligand rings with the surface.
