Scanning tunneling microscope ( STM) is a powerful and unique tool for study single molecules. We review recent advances in single-molecule characterizations including direct STM imaging and I-V spectroscopy, dI/dV spectroscopy and mapping, and d(2)I/ dV(2) spectroscopy and mapping. Some recent experiments of STM-excited single-molecule light emission are also introduced. In the final part, recent developments of single-molecule manipulation with the STM as well as the applications are discussed.
