Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The effect of the double-layer on the reduction of [Co(NH)] cation has been studied at four different single-crystal gold substrates, namely, Au(111), Au(l00), Au(110), and Au(210), and at various concentrations of perchloric acid. The values of the experimental transfer coefficient (α) are much larger than 1.0 at all gold surfaces and decrease with increasing concentration of the supporting electrolyte. The value of α also depends on the crystallographic orientation of the gold substrate and increases in the following order: Au(111) < Au(100) < Au(110) < Au(210), consistent with a decreasing reduction rate from Au(111) to Au(210) at constant electrode potential. The experimental transfer coefficients are rationalized on the basis of the classical theory of the double-layer with consideration of reactants and products in estimation of the diffuse-layer potential. The charge on the reactant transported through the double-layer is 2+. Corrected Tafel plots yield an apparent transfer coefficient α equal to 1.1 ± 0.1 for all analyzed substrates. Corrected rate constants for double-layer effects indicate that the reduction of [Co(NH)] ion depends on the crystallographic orientation of the gold substrate only through the differences in the potential of zero charge. This behavior confirms that the role of the metal is that expected for an adiabatic outer-sphere electron-transfer process.
