Simulated results are given for a full optimization of the molecule without relaxation of the Ag lattice (i.e., neglecting surface relaxations). The distances after including the relaxation of the topmost layers, but reported with respect to the hypothetical, unrelaxed Ag surface, are given in brackets. These values are consistent with the actually measured quantities. For experimental results, also the respective coherent fractions (fH) are given.
