Electronic Structure of Self-Assembled Monolayers Modified with Ferrocene on Gold Surface: Evidence of Electron Tunneling

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

For more than 10 years there have been discussions regarding the charge transfer mechanism from Ferrocene to metals when arranged in Self-Assembled Monolayers Fc-SAMs. In this theoretical study we present a family of models that show evidence of electron tunneling from Fc directly to Au(111), with no relevant contribution from the linker chain.
