Abstract: We present the first-principles calculations of MPc molecules having the magnetic moment. Some of these molecules contain the magnetic 3d-metal atom (MnPc, FePc, and CoPc), whereas others have the non-magnetic metal atom with an odd number of electrons (CuPc, AgPc, and GaPc). Calculations show that the density functional theory greatly decreases the HOMO-LUMO gap and the spin-splitting energy, comparing with hybrid functional results closely related to the many-electron theory. It is found that the HOMO-LUMO gap of MPc molecules shows moderate changes, while their spin-splitting energy is very sensitive to the localization of spin density and varies very significantly.
