Single-molecule fluorescence spectroelectrochemistry of cresyl violet

Chenghong Lei, Dehong Hu and Eric J. Ackerman

Here we report a new path to study single molecule electron transfer dynamics by coupling scanning fluorescence microscopy with a potentiostat via a conventional electrochemical cell to enable single-molecule fluorescence spectroelectrochemistry of cresyl violet in aqueous solution, demonstrating that the single-molecule fluorescence intensity of cresyl violet is modulated synchronously with the cyclic voltammetric potential scanning.
