29. The presence of the sulfur atom in the thiophene ring stabilizes the linkage with the electrodes and avoids thermally activated fluctuations among different bonding-site configurations. In the repetitional approach, the possibility of observing different bonding sites is not affected in the same way since a new junction is formed for each opening/closing cycle.
