Abstract

We report on the observation of Kondo and split Kondo peaks in single-molecule transistors containing a single spin transition molecule with a Fe2+ ion. Coulomb blockade characteristics reveal a double quantum dot behavior in a parallel configuration, making our system a molecular equivalent to a semiconducting double-quantum-dot system. As the gate voltage is increased the charging of the second dot by an additional electron induces a splitting of the Kondo peak. We discuss possible origins of this effect including a spin transition into a high-spin state.
