Free Energy and Temperature Dependence of Electron Transfer at the Metal-Electrolyte Interface
Abstract
The rate constant of the electron-transfer reaction between a gold electrode and an electroactive ferrocene group has been measured at a structurally well-defined metal-electrolyte interface at temperatures from 1° to 47°C and reaction free energies from -1.0 to +0.8 electron volts (eV). The ferrocene group was positioned a fixed distance from the gold surface by the self-assembly of a mixed thiol monolayer of (η 5 C 5 H 5 )Fe(η 5 C 5 H 4 )CO 2 (CH 2 ) 16 SH and CH 3 (CH 2 ) 15 SH. Rate constants from 1 per second (s -1 ) to 2 × 10 4 s -1 in 1 molar HClO 4 are reasonably fit with a reorganization energy of 0.85 eV and a prefactor for electron tunneling of 7 × 10 4 s -1 eV -1 . Such self-assembled monolayers can be used to systematically probe the dependence of electron-transfer rates on distance, medium, and spacer structure, and to provide an empirical basis for the construction of interfacial devices such as sensors and transducers that utilize macroscopically directional electron-transfer reactions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
