Recently, several reports regarding the observation of different conductance peaks ascribed to different contact geometries have appeared for the thiol-anchored single molecule junctions for instance, see:C. Li, I. Pobelov, T. Wandlowski, A. Bagrets, A. Arnold, F. Evers, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2008, 130, 318.

Although compounds 4 and 5 may also adopt several different contact geometries, we observed only broad signals corresponding to the molecular conductance under our experiment condition. See SI for details.
