“…Equation is used only for the computation of the energy of the basins, that is, the energies of initial ( E I ( σ )) and final states ( E F ( σ )) of reactions on the surface under the influence of lateral interactions. For the computation of the energies of transition states, we follow the approach of Nielsen et al, where the activation energy under the influence of lateral interactions, E A (σ), is computed from the activation energy extrapolated to zero coverage, E A ,0 . Defining a reaction energy and similarly, a reaction energy at zero coverage: the activation energy under the influence of lateral interactions is computed as …”
