M. Kunitake et al., INTERFACIAL BUFFER EFFECT OF SELF-ASSEMBLED MONOLAYERS OF A CARBOXYLIC-ACID TERMINATED ALKANETHIOL ON A GOLD ELECTRODE, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (5), 1994, pp. 563-564
Assembled monolayers of a carboxylic acid terminated alkanethiol on a
gold electrode have been found to show an 'interfacial buffer effect'
on the redox reaction of a pH-dependent electroactive compound embedde
d in the monolayers.
