45. 2 as a product of self-assembly. Thus, in fact, an n-alkanethiol SAM on Hg is a physically adsorbed layer of a mercuric thiolate
46. A micrometrically driven hanging mercury drop electrode was used (see ref 41 for details).
47. Self-assembly from 1 mM ethanolic solutions or 10-50 wt % solutions in hexadecane was performed, resulting in identical monolayer films. Previous studies indicate that self-assembly on Hg occurs on a millisecond time scale. The typical self-assembly time was 1 min, Self-assembly times between 10 s and. 5 min resulted in identical films.
48. 2 independent of the end-group and the length of the thiol/selenol. The obtained data are similar to the desorption results obtained for n-alkanethiols on gold electrodes (see Kakiuchi, T.; Usui, H Hobara, D.; Yamamoto, M. Langmuir 2002,18, 5231).
49. The capacitance was measured at 1, 5, and. 10 V/s within the potential range of 0 to -0.7 V versus SSCE. Impedance spectroscopy measurements yielded identical (within the experimental error) capacitance values
50. 1/2 close to the standard, potential of the redox probe.
51. app to zero overpotential
52. o is used to avoid inaccurate subtraction of the capacitive background current.
