Reductive desorption of alkanethiols is a tool for spatially and temporally controlled release of small molecules or particles from individually addressable gold electrodes. Here we report on the dynamics of release using fluorophore-terminated C6 or C11 thiols. We show that the release kinetics for C6 thiols are determined solely by diffusive transport, whereas for C11 thiols the release kinetics are attenuated by the low solubility that limits the rate at which the desorbed thiols can diffuse ...[more]
