Kinetic Implications of the Presence of Intermolecular Interactions in the Response of Binary Self-Assembled Electroactive Monolayers.

ABSTRACT: Quantitative analysis of the influence of intermolecular interactions on the response of electroactive binary monolayers, incorporating the presence of electroinactive coadsorbed species and Marcus-Hush kinetic formalism, has been deduced as an extension of previous models. An expression for the current-potential relationship in terms of two global phenomenological interaction parameters and the apparent charge-transfer rate constant and formal potential has been obtained and applied to multipotential chronoamperometry for the analysis of intermolecular interaction effects on the kinetics of the charge transfer. Experimental verification of the theoretical framework has been performed with binary ferrocenylundecanethiol/decanethiol monolayers on gold and platinum substrates for different c
