• phenomenon is explained by transmission and orbital analysis. These works show that organic ferromagnets are promising components for spintronic devices that deserve to be designed and examined in future experiments. Keywords: magnetoresistance; organic ferromagnet; spin-current rectification; spin

• spin coupling only occurs for the odd sites. Since we focus on the effects of the interactions in the organic ferromagnet on transport, we model the electrodes by simple one-dimensional chains described by a single-band tight-binding model with a spin-splitting term [34], Here, denotes the creation
