Thin films of the molecular conductor TTF-TCNQ, and of two molecular magnets (Cp~*_2Fe~(+))(TCNE~-) and V(TCNE)_x were grown by chemical vapor deposition. In the case of TTF-TCNQ the deposition was carried out on Si and stainless steel conversion coatings (SSCC) surfaces. The high adsorption properties of SSCC surfaces, due to their fractal-like morphology, increases the surface coverage vs. that observed on Si substrates. (Cp~*_2Fe~+)(TCNE~-) and V(TCNE)_x were deposited on KBr pellets. They exhibit field dependent magnetization below 3.7 K and at room temperature, respectively. Slight differences are observed in the ordering temperature T_c of (Cp~*_2Fe~+ )(TCNE~-) and B_s value of V(TCNE)_x vs. those of the parent compounds. This reflect a specific structural organization of the compound on the substrate surface directly connected to the film formation process.
