The theoretical understanding of exchange interactions in organics provides a key foundation for quantum molecular magnetism. Recent SQUID magnetometry of a well know organic semiconductor, copper-phthalocyanine [1,2] (CuPc) shows that it forms quasi-one-dimensional spin chains. Green's function perturbation theory and density functional theory simulations [3,4] are used to calculate exchange interactions and electronic structure for CuPc, CobaltPc, LithiumPc, and ChromiumPc. The exchange interactions depend strongly on stacking angles, but weakly on sliding angles. Our results qualitatively agree with the experiments and can guide experimentalists to synthesis novel materials.
