21. It should be noted that high resolution spectroscopies used to retrieve information about a chemical system usually operate in the linear response regime, i.e. the perturbation is small enough that the response gives information about the system and not about the system plus the perturbation. IETS is a very useful technique when the perturbation is sufficiently small to be treated within the perturbative theory

29. A rigorous normal mode numbering is not available because (i) the symmetry of the molecule in vacuum can be lowered by the interaction with the surface (ii) the classification of the IR and Raman spectra is performed for the molecule with the hydrogen attached to the sulfur atom (and this alters completely the normal mode numbering). We used here the simplest possible choice (assigning mode numbering based simply on increasing frequency) with the aim of making these results easily comprehensible
