Title: anchoring group in two probe system
Post by: sweta on August 6, 2012, 14:27

Hello

I have one very general question related to two probe system.
I am writing a research article and just want to know when we connect electrode to molecule via an atom say hydrogen than what it called either hydrogen anchoring or hydrogen linking or both word have the same meaning??
Because for thiol we use anchoring so for an atom we should also use anchoring or linking??

When using terms like this, don't expect that the reader understands the words like you do, so it's best to just explain what you mean. The terminology is far from standardized.
