The kinetics of this process were too slow to measure directly in the case of RS−Pt and RS−Pd SAMs. Thus, the faradaic response of potassium ferricyanide after partial or complete desorption was determined and used to quantify the relative electrochemically accessible surface area. Both the type of underlying metal substrate and the chain length of the n-alkanethiol were varied. The relative alkanethiol binding affinity and effective kinetics of binding for each of the substrates were discussed in light of these observations.}, number={34}, journal={JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY C}, author={Williams, James A. and Gorman, Christopher B.}, year={2007}, month={Aug}, pages={12804–12810} }

This process is characterized and the bias dependence of the degree of replacement for each metal substrate is illustrated. Replacement on gold substrates occurs at lower applied potentials than on platinum substrates, provided care has been taken to remove surface oxides.}, number={6}, journal={LANGMUIR}, author={Williams, James A. and Gorman, Christopher B.}, year={2007}, month={Mar}, pages={3103–3105} }
