Here, we demonstrate that the excitonic state of a single CuPc molecule can be reproducibly switched by atomic scale manipulations permitting precise positioning of the molecule on the NaCl ionic crystal lattice. Using a combination of STML, AFM and ab-initio calculations, we show the modulation of electronic and optical bandgaps, and the exciton binding energy in CuPc by tens of meV. We explain this effect by spatially-dependent Coulomb interaction occurring at the molecule-insulator interface, which tunes the local dielectric environment of the emitter.
