34. Moreover, most likely, the molecules are not folded with a side-on orientation. If side on, intermolecular hydrogen bonding will not be optimized. Furthermore, as the alkyl chains are not very transmissive for tunnelling electrons, having a double layer of alkyl chains could hamper high quality imaging of the adsorbed layer as the tip might interact with the 'upper alkyl chains' under the given experimental conditions

36. As the sample cell is not closed, the solvent evaporates too fast. Faradaic currents due to residual water mask the tunnelling current. Coating of the tip according to the procedure for EC-STM is also not ideal since ethanol might (partly) dissolve the coating

38. As no clear images of the Au(111) lattice could be recorded, and therefore internal calibration is lacking, an accurate analysis of the parameters describing the molecular ordering is not provided
