30. Because of the increased rigidity of the layer in PeMoPALO, a different solvent system was used. A two-phase system, 1:4 (v/v) water-methanol and ethyl acetate, was necessary, where the metal electrodes and polymer layer floats at the liquid/liquid interface. Using ethyl acetate affected the electrical measurements. This points to a different interface between the monolayer and top electrode, which was not the case when water was used (see the Supporting Information of ref. [27]).
