12. At the potentials necessary to drive the oxidation of ferrocene, the charge density on the electrode surface is likely to be positive, i.e., the potentials are larger than the corresponding potential of zero charge (pzc).

16. Due to the electrostatic effects involved in these measurements, we must note that the reported k° values are apparent rate constants, as they depend on the supporting electrolyte concentration used in these experiments.
