[14], Figure 1, panel C (tetramer); C-S was pointing inward toward S-S. We believe this different thiyl alignment was selected unintentionally, since the experimental STM images for the molecular chains did not clearly reveal the alignment of the terminal thiyl. The alignment of thiyl product computed in our work was found to be unchanged in going from monomer, to dimer, to trimer, and to tetramer, with C-S pointing outward away from S-S. We show this calculated C-S bond alignment in our Figure 1, in agreement with Maksymovych Figures 1A and B in Ref. [14].
