We present a theoretical study of the magnetic properties of dicyclopentadienyl metallocene and phthalocyanine molecules, that contain the transition metal atoms M = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ir, Pt and Au. Our most important prediction is that gold and copper molecules are magnetic. We find that the magnetism of these molecules is fairly unconventional: the gold atom itself is weakly magnetic or even non-magnetic. Its role is rather to induce magnetism in the surrounding carbon and nitrogen atoms, producing a sort of spin density wave.
