We have developed a multi-orbital approach to compute the electronic structure of a quantum impurity using the non-crossing approximation. The calculation starts with a mean-field evaluation of the system's electronic structure using a standard quantum chemistry code. Here we use density functional theory (DFT). We transformed the one-electron structure into an impurity Hamiltonian by using maximally localized Wannier functions (MLWF). Hence, we have developed a method to study the Kondo effect in systems based on an initial one-electron calculation. We have applied our methodology to a copper phthalocyanine molecule chemisorbed on Ag (100), and we have described its spectral function for three different cases where the molecule presents a single spin or two spins with ferro- and anti-ferromagnetic exchange couplings. We find that the use of broken-symmetry mean-field theories such as Kohn-Sham DFT cannot deal with the complexity of the spin of open-shell molecules on metal surfaces and extra modeling is needed.
