For bilayer graphene it was found the non-local Coulomb interaction, denoted as V, is crucial for the description of the electronic structure [1]. In this presentation, we extend the investigation to 2D van der Waals materials characterized by covalent bonds between magnetic 3d-transition metal atoms and atoms possessing polarizable and delocalized p-electrons. To address this, we have theoretically formalized the incorporation of this interaction into a Hamiltonian model system and found renormalization of the magnetic interactions. Subsequently, we have implemented this theoretical framework into our FLEUR code [2], which is based on the Full-potential Linearized Augmented Plane Wave method. We comprehensively examined the impact of V on the electronic properties using the DFT+U+V approach. V-values have been determined from microscopic theory on the level of constrained random phase approximation.
