Correction to “Fingerprint of Fractional Charge Transfer at the Metal/Organic Interface”

Abstract

I n the Supporting Information file of the original manuscript, the Figure on page 3, "A typical atomic force microscopy (AFM) image evidencing the nanorod morphology", was missing. The Supporting Information file has been revised to include this Figure.

Impact of Surface Defects on the Charge Transfer at Inorganic/Organic Interfaces

“…10 Hence, this mechanism is often called fractional charge transfer, or FCT. 11,12 Conversely, semiconductors are more inert, preventing the formation of hybrid states. There, the charge transfer is driven by the difference in the electron chemical potential between the two different components, i.e., it is an ionic, rather than a covalent, interaction.…”

“…Such hybrid states are essentially polar covalent bonds, giving rise to effectively fractionally charged molecules . Hence, this mechanism is often called fractional charge transfer, or FCT. , …”
