The magnetic anisotropy of metal including Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Mo, Tc, Ru, Rh, W, Re, Os, Ir atoms functionalized phthalocyanine networks have been investigated with first-principles calculations. The magnetic moments can be expressed as 8-n μ{sub B} with n the electronic number of outmost d shell in the transition metals. The huge magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy (MAE) is obtained by torque method. Especially, the MAE of Re functionalized phthalocyanine network is about 20 meV with an easy axis perpendicular to the plane of phthalocyanine network. The MAE is further manipulated by applying the external biaxial strain. It is found that the MAE is linear increasing with the external strain in the range of −2% to 2%. Our results indicate an effective approach to modulate the MAE for practical application. - Graphical abstract: The charge density redistribution (ρ{sub MPc}-ρ{sub M}-ρ{sub Pc}) and spin density of the CoPc molecule, from top- and side-views.
