Photoinduced Electron Transfer Affected by Electrical Potential Difference in LB Films

The comparison of the dependence of the electron transfer quenching rate on the signs in head group charge indicates that the inner potential difference of the electrical double layer (EDL) created between the sensitizer and the ferrocene monolayer, Δφ, has to be taken into account for estimation of the effective standard free energy of the electron transfer quenching reaction, ΔG°.
