49. Since the LUMO is located on the whole benzoate group, the appropriate electron affinity to consider is that of the benzoate group rather than that of the benzene molecule.
50. The methodology used has been described in Refs. 17, 19, and 33-35.

54. The calculation in Fig., in common with those based on DFT (Refs. 9,10, and 12), does not include Coulomb blockade, but still provides information regarding the energy-level broadening due to hybridization between the molecular orbitals and gold leads that controls whether Coulomb blockade occurs.
