24. The purity was assessed by comparing the ratio of the asymmetric to symmetric disulfides from the MS spectrum. The asymmetric disulfides were found to undergo thiolate chains exchange to a small extent during the mass spectral analysis, making these purity figures a lower estimate to the true purity.

36. Our attempts at isolating the electronic-coupling-induced splitting for even subtly asymmetric Li radicals have been unsuccessful. The asymmetry-induced splitting is typically several orders of magnitude larger than that due to the electronic coupling. Calculating the asymmetry-induced splitting by separately calculating the energy levels of a single Li atom on each side of the hydrocarbon chains is not sufficiently accurate to allow extraction of the electronic-coupling-induced splitting for these asymmetric systems.

41. We have produced asymmetric ω-hydroxyalkanethiol-containing chains differing in length by two methylene groups. The electron transfer ratios for these monolayers are significantly lower than those predicted, suggesting the presence of an extra layer of water between the shorter thiolate chain and redox molecule.
