gold cluster , self-assembled monolayer , biferrocene alkanethiol

We examine the electrochemical properties of SAM of alkanethiols terminated with biferrocenyl group (complex 7) to understand the interactions between metal surface and molecules.The cyclic voltammogram of complex 8 shows two successive reversible one-electron redox waves corresponding to the oxidation of the biferrocenyl moiety and all peak-to-peak separations are smaller than 59 mV (ideal value of one electron transfer with diffusing controlling). In addition, the peak currents are linear to s...

In this work first we characterize two nondegenerate positive random variables X and Y to be gammally distributed with the same scale parameter under the assumptions X/Y}|Y~B(p,q) and E((Y-X)^k|X)=b for some fixed integer k>1and constant b. Among others characterizations of the gamma and beta distributions based on some special quadratic forms of conditional moments are also investigated.
