29. We chose NaF as a supporting electrolyte due to the weak interaction between the fluoride ion and gold (Dickinson, K. M.; et al. Electrochim. Acta 1992, 37, 139-141) that should not inhibit formation of the SAM.

34. The concentration of effective micelles near the interface is not likely zero for long times after the adsorption has begun due to a decreasing adsorption rate of alkanethiols as surface sites become occupied (refer to eq 18).

37. Equation 18 is similar to that used by Rahn and Hallock (Langmuir 1995, 11, 650-654). We have added the exponent x to allow for a more complex dependence of coverage on rate.
38. The use of eq 21 in conjunction with either eq 22 or 23 represents a single-parameter model for describing the kinetics of SAM formation from alkanethiol-containing aqueous micellar solutions. We also developed a model that contains rate constants for both release and adsorption (two-parameter model). While the two-parameter model did provide satisfactory fits to the coverage data (perhaps due to the presence of a second adjustable parameter), the resulting rate constants determined from this fitting were physically unrealistic. The single-parameter model used herein represents a good approximation of the kinetics for the diffusion-limited case.
39. 6 concentration studied (30 mM), and given a 1 mM alkanethiol concentration, the micelles contain an average of ∼10 alkanethiols. This average is based on the assumption that the aggregation number of the micelles is identical to that in the absence of thiols as reported in Table 1.
