8. Octanethiol-derivatized gold nanoparticles were prepared according to the established method: Brust, M.; Walker, M.; Bethell, D.; Schiffrin, D. J.; Whyman, R. J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun. 1994, 801.
9. 12 was 908.1970, found 908.1947.
10. 2 (10 mL).
11. Tetrathiafulvalene itself did not immobilize onto a gold electrode by the immersion of the electrode in a TTF solution.
12. 2 led to the layers of tetrathiol 2 and TTF-Au nanoparticles on a gold electrode.
13. One reviewer pointed out the surface characterization of the TTF-Au nanoparticle-modified gold electrode, which will be reported in a full paper.
