41. On the basis of the results presented in this work, several substrates were prepared and subsequently tested by using ferrocene percentages in solution between 1% and 0.2%. It was possible to measure host-guest interactions with a rupture force for a single complex of 56 ± 10 pN for both systems. Moreover, direct comparison of the number of decomplexation events obtained by means of this technique and the number of ferrocene molecules immobilized on the tip, calculated from the electrochemical data, gave a good correlation. Some data for this study have already been published; see ref 20a.

56. A "full" layer is the one in which all the ferrocene moieties are well packed and no more can fit due to steric interactions. Even if the headgroups are well packed, a certain degree of disorder can be found in the underlying alkyl chains, due the difference in size between the ferrocene moieties and the alkyl chains, as shown in the calculation for the theoretical curve of the charge densities versus the solution composition.
57. 15 where the increase of chain length of both components (ferrocene thiol and unsubstituted thiol) does not affect the ferrocene surface coverage. In that case both components have comparable chain length; therefore, no discrimination could be expected on the basis of different lateral interaction.
