STM is a useful tool for spectroscopy utilizing its ultimate spatial resolution. Electronic and vibrational information that STS and inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (IETS) carries is not only the reflection of the static spectroscopic information but also related to dynamical phenomena as motion or reaction of molecules induced by the excitation of molecular states. Action spectroscopy is the method to related the action of molecules induced and is utilized to identify the quantum states of the molecules. Dynamical information includes as how molecular vibrations can couple with the relevant dynamical processes [1,2]. I will present typical eamples of how the fundamental excitation of vibration modes is coupled with chemical reactions at surfaces.
