Single perylene bisimide molecules deposited onto Al(2)O(3) (0001) and investigated under controlled ultrahigh vacuum conditions display fluorescence intermittency behavior characteristic of an interfacial charge transfer process. Remarkably, even though the molecules are deposited on a crystalline...
