Unimolecular electron-transfer rate constants, k sub et, are reported for the one-electron reduction of pentaaminecobalt (III) attached to gold and mercury electrodes via thioalkylcarboxylate ligands containing varying numbers, n, of alkyl carbons. While similar values of k sub et were found at mercury for each reaction, for close-packed monolayers at gold the k sub et values decreased by circa 10 to the 4th power as an increased from one to five. This effect is identified with increasingly nonadiabatic pathways as an increases, a linear plot of log k sub et versus n being obtained. The results provide estimates of the electronic transmission coefficient as a function of the surface-Co(III) separation distance.
