Covalent immobilization of TEMPO at carbon and gold via an aliphatic -(CH 2 ) 6 - linker was achieved via cathodic grafting of a diamagnetic precursor, tetramethylpiperidine, with subsequent >NH to >NO oxidation to give TEMPO-capped paramagnetic interfaces ( Γ TEMPO = 5.2 × 10 -10 mol cm -2 ); catalytic and spin switching potential of the thus prepared systems was demonstrated.
