    Geometrical models showing M-TPP-based molecular junctions through Au–SR and Au–S(h)R bondings.
    Spin-resolved transmission spectra of (a) Co-TPP(s)2, (b) Co-TPP(SH)2, (c) Mn-TPP(s)2, and (d) Mn-TPP(SH)2 at zero bias.
    (a) [(e)] Atomic sites projected DOS of central molecule in the Mn-TPP-based molecular junction through Au–SR [Au–S(h)R] bonding, and atomic sites projected DOS of (b) [(f)] S, (c) [(g)] Mn, and (d) [(h)] TPP in the Mn-TPP-based molecular junction through Au–SR [Au–S(h)R] bonding.
    Position-dependent local DOS from the left end to the right end of the central scattering region in (a) [(c)] α and (b) [(d)] β spin state of Mn-TPP(s)2 [Mn-TPP(SH)2].
    (a) Interatomic transmission pathway at –0.26 eV for β spin state of Co-TPP(s)2, and (b) interatomic transmission pathway at –0.87 eV for β spin state of Co-TPP(SH)2. Arrow color means direction of electron transport.
    Eigenfunctions of transmission eigenchannels for β spin states of Co-TPP(s)2 and Co-TPP(SH)2 at Fermi energy and the energy values of transmission dips, with isovalue being set to be 0.1.
