  OVERVIEW
==============================================================================================================
This repository contains the experimental data and analytical framework for the study of 
Inner Helmholtz Plane (IHP) restructuring using Single-Molecule Junctions (SMJs).

By employing AC-STMBJ with a bis(thioanisolyl)butadiynyl probe, we resolve sub-millisecond 
transients across eight organic solvents, categorised by their dielectric response:
  - Group A: Non-polar (e.g. Mesitylene, Decane) -> Resistive response.
  - Group B: Intermediate (e.g. Anisole, TCB)    -> Quasi-linear capacitive response.
  - Group C: Highly Polar (e.g. GBL, PC)         -> Non-linear/Asymmetric dynamics.
