Using a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope (LT-STM) combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations we show how non-magnetic organic molecules on a metallic surface can become magnetic by doping them with light metal atoms. By single atom/molecule manipulation we construct a complex formed by two aluminum atoms doping a phenanthrazine molecule on an Au(111) surface. We use the Kondo effect to characterize the magnetic moment and confirm the emergence of a localized magnetic moment in the 2(Al)-phenanthrazine complex. DFT calculations allow us to describe the electronic and magnetic properties of the new system. This procedure opens a new way to design light magnetic molecular complexes without the need of transition metal atoms.
