Interfacial binding constants KOx, KRed (M−1), BEF (KOx/KRed) and BEF ratios with various anions and 2.XB/HBSAM in ACN/H2O 99 : 1 (+100 μM H+) as determined by electrochemical titrations. All isotherms were fit to eqn (2) to obtain absolute binding constants (Fig. 5). Mathematical errors from the fitting are generally <20% (see ESI for further details).
