28. This is within 1 degree of the thermal average (at 290 K) of the dihedral angle in oligophenyldiamines with one Au atom bonded to each amine group.
29. Junction geometries include junctions relaxed under tensile or compressive strains, junctions with and without inversion symmetry, and those with, the molecule oriented at different angles relative to the surface normal.
