19. Further deprotonation of al yields a chemically unstable double anionic form, which is most likely due to a polymerization process. This fact prevents the occurrence of a fourth state capable of sensing very high pH values.
20. In contrast to the measurements in solution, the pH values of the different atmospheres to which the nanopatterned surface was exposed are given on the aqueous scale (i.e., measured in water with standardization in the same solvent).
