Transport devices built from individual functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) show great potential for instance in spintronics applications. We graft magnetic complexes to CNTs [1]. The route for the CNT functionalization is very general, based on ligand exchange, and can be applied for different molecules, in particular SMMs. We present first quantum transport measurements on individual functionalized CNTs that prove only weak distortion of the electron wave function by the covalent functionalization. The g-factor of the chemically modified CNT quantum dot (QD) is much smaller compared to pristine CNT QDs indicating spin interaction between the QD and the attached molecules. A clear random telegraph signal is recorded depending on the states of the QD. Origin of timescale and energy of the signal are discussed. [1] Meyer, C. et al., Phys. Status Solidi B 249, 2412(2012)
