Abstract
The kinetics of electron transfer between individual gold nanocrystals and a solution redox species is quantified. The observed rate is dependent on the extent of electronic coupling between nanocrystals in the monolayer indicating the effect of Coulomb blockade on electrochemical kinetics.Keywords
