When magnetic molecules are brought into contact with metals the electron-electron interaction leads to the appearance of the correlated Kondo state. In this talk we will present the results of first-principles calculations for the electronic structure and the linear-response conductance of radical molecules adsorbed on metallic surfaces in the Kondo regime [Phys. Rev. B 95, 085131 (2017), Nanoscale 10, 17738 (2018)]. In particular we will outline the methodological approach as implemented in the Smeagol electron transport code and we will benchmark the results against experiments. The method relies in the first place on the combination of Density Functional Theory with the Green's functions technique. We will explain how a molecular devices is projected onto an effective Anderson impurity problem, which is then solved either by continuum time quantum Monte Carlo or numerical renormalization group. Finally, we will describe some work-in-progress aimed at computing transport properties beyond linear-response.
