title: Reductive desorption of thiolate from monolayer protected gold clusters.
abstract: The "electrochemical potential window" of monolayer-protected gold cluster (MPC) nanoelectrodes is probed where the electrified liquid-liquid interface is used as the detector. The first observation of the reductive desorption of thiolate at negative MPC core charge is reported.
