The control of exchange coupling across the molecule-substrate interface is a key feature in molecular spintronics. This Perspective reviews the emerging field of on-surface magnetochemistry, where coordination chemistry is applied to surface-supported metal porphyrins and metal phthalocyanines to control their magnetic properties. The particularities of the surface as a multiatomic ligand or "surface ligand'' are introduced. The asymmetry involved in the action of a chemical ligand and a surface ligand on the same planar complexes modifies the well-established ''trans effect'' to the notion of the ''surface-trans effect". As ad-complexes on ferromagnetic substrates are usually exchange-coupled, the magnetochemical implications of the surface-trans effect are of particular interest. The combined action of the different ligands allows for the reproducible control of spin states in on-surface supramolecular architectures and opens up new ways toward building and operating spin systems at interfaces. Notably, spin-switching has been demonstrated to be controlled collectively via the interaction with a ligand (chemical selectivity) and individually via local addressing at the interface.
