Research Abstract |
During the investigation of electric field responsive self-assembled monolayer (SAM) as a switchable catalyst, we have succeeded in observing the peculiar dynamics of the monolayer. The response speed of the monolayer upon application of electric field is sometimes very slow compared to the regular understanding of the SAM dynamics. This observation is very important for all the research concerning the stimuli-responsive SAM.
