Abstract Molecular spins have shown genuine quantum properties, both as collection of independent units as well as individual objects. Their characteristics and performances can be engineered at molecular level while advanced technologies to coherently manipulate magnetic objects and to address them with unprecedented spatial and energy resolution have emerged in the last years. Here we address the question on how to exploit quantum features of molecular spins for quantum sensing, i.e. the art to detect quantities of interest. To this end, we summarise some basic ideas and discuss some examples where molecular spins can play a role in the field.
