We report the inelastic electron tunneling (IET) spectra of an 1,6-hexanedithiol (HDT) single-molecule junction using a mechanically controllable break junction (MCBJ) technique. We measure the completely assigned IET spectra of the HDT junction. All of the spectral features are attributable to vibrational modes associated with the molecular species, providing a clear evidence of the existence of the component molecule through which tunneling is occurring. In addition, we discuss the effect of the junction elongation by changing the separation between two electrodes in MCBJ, which gives rise to changes in the configuration in the single-molecule junction.
