46. The one notable exception is the intermolecular spacing measured for films formed from 1,2-dichlorobenzene, in which the standard deviation itself is large because of the small number of images obtained for 1-bromoeicosane in this solvent as compared to that of the others. The high relative dielectric constant of 1,2-dichlorobenzene necessitating an insulated STM tip, coupled with its high relative vapor pressure, made imaging challenging.
47. The Steele contribution of the parallel configuration has been corrected by a factor of 0.38-0.44 to account for its larger packing area relative to the perpendicular configurations.
