36. 7 an additional pair of voltammetric peaks were found at a more positive potential position; however, the voltammetric responses were very stable. These observations were consistent with the argument of molecular mobility and consequential interracial structural dynamics.

39. In the case of four layers of gold nanoclusters, the ferrocene peak potential was determined by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Please see the Supporting Information for details. Also, in a dropcast thick film (∼μm) of the same ω-ferrocenated nanoparticles, the formal potential of the ferrocene moieties was found at an even more positive position, +0.45 V.
