Spin-dependent effects in electron transport through molecular junctions can manifest in different forms, such as magnetoresistance, Kondo signatures, or additional switching mechanisms. In many cases, the underlying physical processes cannot be revealed by experiment alone. We show how first principles calculations can help to understand such phenomena, and discuss open challenges.
