“…The insert shows the voltammetric peak current dependence of the scan rate, which is linear over the potential scan rate range studied here, indicating that the redox couple is surface-bound. Integration of the surface charge (the electrochemical area of electrode was used, which is likely more appropriate than geometric estimations based on the sphere radius [37,40,43]) of ferrocene oxidation (or reduction of the ferrocenium species yields a surface coverage of 1.5Â10 À10 mol cm À2 , somewhat lower than that expected for monolayer coverage (4Â10 À10 mol cm À2 ) [38][39][40][41] and ca. five times smaller than the density reported for an alkanethiol monolayer (7.7Â10 À10 mol cm À2 ) [42].…”
