“…The charge transfer through these types of molecular linkers is characterized by a decay of the tunnelling current with the length of the linker, the tunnelling coefficient being around β≈0.8Å -1 (Adams et al, 2003;Finklea, 1987Finklea, , 1996. However, recent studies demonstrate that the tunnelling decay is not the dominant property of the films when the nanomaterials are tethered at the end of the molecular bridges determining a fast electron transfer process and moreover, this fast electron transfer process is dependent on the size and the shape of the nanomaterials (Bradbury et al, 2008;Chirea et al, 2009Chirea et al, , 2010Kissling et al, 2010). A more detailed research has to be developed in order to fully understand the mechanism behind this fast electron transfer processes taking place at electrodes modified with hydrid nanostructures.…”
