The exploration of single-molecule luminescence using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is a vividly developing area of research. A number of works using STM-PL/EL and TERS techniques addressing the photophysics at the true single-molecule limit have employed rylene dyes for their known luminescent properties [1,2]. However, up to this point, a thorough comparison investigating the absorption and luminescent characteristics of molecules that share similar rylene-based configurations has not been carried out. This study presents a comparative analysis with the tip-enhanced spectromicroscopy in STM nanocavity on isolated molecules such as NTCDA, PTCDA, and DBP [3]. The findings reveal surprisingly distinct characteristics of each species; notably of their photoluminescence (PL) fingerprints and photocurrent maps. This shows the versatility of chemically related species, which holds promise for tailoring custom optoelectronic functionality in molecular aggregates.
