Techniques in single‐molecule fluorescence spectroscopy now allow sophisticated studies of photophysical processes in single molecules. As interest grows in the possibilities of molecular electronics, researchers have begun to turn these techniques to the study of electron transfer. Electron‐transfer reactions have now been detected and measured at the single‐molecule level in a variety of systems and on a variety of timescales by adapting techniques from previous single‐molecule fluorescence studies.
