Measurement of the Charge Number Per Adsorbed Molecule and Packing Densities of Self-Assembled Long-Chain Monolayers of Thiols
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We have applied a recently developed method (Langmuir 2006, 22, 5509-5519) to determine charge numbers per adsorbed molecule and packing densities in self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of octadecanethiol (C18SH), a representative long-chain thiol. Our method yields values of area per molecule that are physically reasonable, in contrast to the popular reductive desorption method, which gives molecular areas that are smaller than those determined by the van der Waals radii. In a nonadsorbing electrolyte, we were able to model the dependence of the charge number per adsorbed molecule on the electrode potential, taking into account that the desorption process is a substitution reaction between the solvent and the adsorbate. We have also shown that the charge number per adsorbed thiol is affected by the specific adsorption of the anion of the electrolyte. In the latter case, the thiol competes for adsorption sites at the surface not only with water but also with the anion of the electrolyte, and this competition has an effect on the measured charge number.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
