41. The sold electrode was prepared by vacuum deposition technique with 2000 Å thickness of gold on Si(100) wafer precoated with 50 Å of chromium. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray diffraction studies showed that the gold electrode has (111) surface mainly with roughness factor of 1.1.
42. UV-visible absorption measurements were made using a Hitachi U-3500 spectrometer at reflection mode. The time profile of amount of the adsorbed molecules on the Au substrate was monitored using the UV-visible absorption spectroscopy.

48. 3bThus, coverage is a low limit estimate, and occupied area is an upper limit estimate. Considering that the porphyrins are planar large molecules with bulky substituents at the memo positions, even in the densely packed monolayer films the electrochemical accessibility may be similar to that in the ideal system where surface-confined redox-active molecules are completely electrochemically accessible in the film.
49. Surface coverage of 1e/Au estimated using UV-visible absorption spectroscopy as well as cyclic voltammetry deviates slightly from the continuous trend with an increase of the chain length. This may be related to the orientation of the terminal porphyrin where the number of methylene is even or odd. A similar effect has been observed in self-assembled monolayers with a terminal methyl group. Reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic experiments as well as atomic force microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy are in progress to establish the molecular orientation, (a) Walczak, M.

51. The free energy change from the singlet and triplet excited states to the charge-separated states were calculated to be 0.21 and -0.25 eV, respectively. No corrections have been made for any Coulombic effects because it is difficult to assess the effect at the interface.
