is the largest component of E ML ads (see Figure ). Seemingly, in the absence of an electric field, the molecules bond more strongly to the surface when densely packed than when they are alone. We emphasize, however, that the absolute values of E ML bond in Figure should not be compared with the values from Figure because the adsorption geometries in the tightly packed layer are different from those considered above. Rather, the important finding here is that when comparing isolated and densely packed molecules, the change of
