An application of impedance measurement technique (IMT) for a detection of quantum tunneling in molecular structures is investigated. A charged particle which tunnels in a two-well potential is electrically coupled to a high-quality superconducting LC-circuit(tank) that makes possible a measurement of the electric susceptibility of the molecule at the resonant frequency of the tank. The real part of this susceptibility bears information about the tunneling rate through a measurable parameter - a phase angle between the tank voltage and a bias current applied to the tank. It is shown that the present approach is highly sensitive and allows the monitoring of the tunnel motion of charged nuclei in a single molecule.
