50. 196 The Ag UME was biased at the limiting potential for oxygen reduction, determined by voltammetry as -0.88 V vs AgQRE. All measurements were made at ambient temperature (20 ± 1 °C).
51. This was used as the distance of closest approach for subsequent approach curve measurements The distance was confirmed with independent measurements of ferrocyanide oxidation, for the range of monolayer compressions of interest. Approach curves followed the theory for hindered diffusion (Kwak, J.; Bard, A. J. Anal. Chem. 1989, 61, 1221), with a consistent distance of closest approach.

57. After the pressure was adjusted, the system was allowed to settle for 2 min before approach curves were recorded, π-time and A-time data were recorded simultaneously during approach curves to ensure that the monolayer was stable during local electrochemical measurements. No contamination of the electrode surface was observed between successive approach curve measurements as evidenced by consistent i(∞) values.
