109. We note that a second possible reason for the required rigid shift of the DOS, as pointed out by one of the reviewers of this manuscript, could be due to the approximate nature of the exchange-correlation function used herein.
110. Because of the hybrid nature of the B3LYP functional, neither compression nor expansion of the DOS was needed for these molecular systems, in contrast to other simulations of PES/IPES data (e.g., (a) Hill, I.G.; et al. Chem. Phys. Lett. 2000, 317, 444.

112. (c) Hwang; et al. J. Phys. Chem. C 2007, 111, 1378) The rigid shifts for fitting of the PES spectra using the DFT DOS were as follows: OPE 3.34 eV; OPE-F 3.25 eV; OPE-NH2 3.59; OPENO2 3.23; and, 3.58 OPE-bisNO2.

120. Recent studies of conjugated molecular SAMs, where the polar group is appended at the end of the molecule (e.g. refs 60, 81, 112, and 116), reveal rapid (exponential) decay of the electric field outside of the polar head group. For such systems, because of the distance between the head group and possible "insulating" effects of the remaining molecular backbone, it would be expected that image effects are small, if not negligible. The non-negligible image effects, observed in the present study, are proposed to arise from the placement of the dipolar groups along the side of the molecular backbone (thus negating any insulating effects of the backbone) and allowing differing orientations that permit the polar groups to become close to the substrate, therefore generating larger image effects.
121. For the purpose of comparison, a series of 4′-donor/acceptor- substituted 4-mercaptobiphenyls were evaluated at the B3LYP/6-3IG** level of theory (see Table 4 and Figure 11). The donor and acceptor substituents were chosen so as to repeat those reported in ref. 80 and to compare with those used in the present manuscript.
