In this work, we propose to extend the scope of single-molecule spectroscopy to spin chemistry investigations of single radical pairs. A consistent theory of single-molecule spectroscopy on single radical pairs is proposed, which allows one to show that bunching phenomena are affected by singlet–triplet interconversion in radical pairs, which is, in turn, affected by local and external magnetic fields. A detailed study on the feasibility of such experiments with single flavin adenine dinucleotide, FAD, molecules is presented. We conclude that the observation of magnetic field effects on single FAD molecules is feasible but experimentally challenging for measurements on integrated fluorescence intensity and fluorescence event statistics.
