50. We performed a constraint geometry optimization by fixing the S atoms of the dithiol to a distance of 5.99 while relaxing the coordinates of the other atoms. The calculations were performed using density functional theory at the B3LYP level. The split valence basis set 6-31G, augmented with polarization and diffuse functions, 6-31+G(d,p), was employed. The Gaussian 03 package was used for these calculations: M.J. Frisch, G.W. Trucks, H.B. Schlegel, G.E. Scuseria, M.A. Robb, J.R. Cheeseman, J.A. Montgomery, T. Vreven, K.N. Kudin, J.C. Burant, J.M.
