pH-Dependent rectification in self-assembled monolayers based on electrostatic interactions.
Asymmetric electrostatic interactions dependent on pH between the redox molecules and the terminal group on the top of the self-assembled monolayer (SAM) afford control of the electron transfer property of the SAM having the imidazole terminal group.
