111. M = 0.75, 0.41, and 0.24 V, respectively. The good fits to eqs 3-5 (such as those shown in Figure 4) also demonstrate that changing the potential drop through the monolayer by as much as an additional ±0.15 V has no effect on the rate of electron transfer through OPE bridges. However, the distributions of electrostatic potential along the lengths of these bridges are unknown.13,33,94

115. We should emphasize that, even though there are significant potential changes across the Au-bridge-Fc junctions effected by the SAMs employed in the present study,92 the electron-transfer reaction in an ILIT experiment is driven by a free energy change that is always less than a few millielectronvolts (see, for example, the data in Figures 2 and 3).

117. A calculated52 conductance based upon the model presented in ref 13 also is in excellent agreement with the measured conductance reported in ref 52. However, we should point out that the authors of ref 52 assume that their measured conductance is effected by a "hopping" mechanism while the model presented in ref 13 is a only valid for a (nonresonant) tunneling mechanism.
