14. Self-assembled monolayers were deposited in an oxygen free glovebox from 1 mM solutions of the compounds in tetrahydrofuran. The thioacetyl groups of OPE and OPV were deprotected in situ with 60 uL of concentrated sulfuric acid. Full details of the monolayer characterization as well as compound synthesis is reported elsewhere.
