26. The extended chain length of the constituent molecules represents an upper limit in shell thickness, and in a more realistic kinked conformation, the surface ligand molecular size is an extremely important regulator of current flowing through the ensemble. Conductivity in the methyl-terminated alkanethiol Au cluster system varies by 7 orders in magnitude with a corresponding chain length variation of 6 to 16 carbon atoms(13) whereas it varies only 3 orders in magnitude for a core diameter variation of 2 to 7 nm.
