The combination of electron spin resonance and scanning tunneling microscopy resulted in a versatile surface probe with sub-nm spatial and μeV energy resolution. In this work, we will show that this technique can be applied to characterize singly occupied molecular orbitals of organic radicals. We show the general applicability of this technique by applying it across a series of small fused hydrocarbons adsorbed on thin layers of magnesium oxide used to decouple the spins from the underlying silver substrate. We utilize ab initio calculation and transport simulations using non-equilibriums Green*s functions to explain spatial and spectral variation of the magnetic resonance signal. Our work is the first demonstration of magnetic resonance imaging of a single molecular orbital with sub-molecular resolution of an organic radical of a surface.
