Optical spectroscopies are powerful techniques to obtain precise information regarding the chemical structure or the environment of organic molecules. Therefore, gathering the optical signal from a single molecule represents the ultimate limit in terms of chemical analysis and provide a way to probe its local environment. In this presentation, I report recent results, where we used a STM to induce fluorescence emission from a single H2Pc molecule. Two different emission lines, which are relative to each tautomer of the molecule are observed in the STM-Induced fluorescence spectrum. Spatial mapping of these fluorescence lines coupled with a theoretical model using the concept of plasmonic picocavity, where the light is confined by the last atoms of the tip within volumes of the order of 1 nm3, allowed us to obtain optical images of the two tautomers. Thanks to this identification, real-time optical tracking of the tautomerization process is carried out, providing the tautomers lifetimes. This result shows that STM-Induced single-molecule fluorescence experiments constitute a complete optical microscopy technique at the atomic scale.
