29. We used Troullier-Martins pseudopotentials [N. Troullier, J.L. Martins Phys. Rev. B 43 (1991) 1993-2006] with core radius 1.23 a.u. for C and N and 1.25 for O. The pseudopotential for H was obtained as in [L. Pavesi, P. Giannozzi, F.K. Reinhart, Phys. Rev. B 42 (1990) 1864-1867]. This set of pseudopotentials lead to a convergence of the geometry within ≤0.3% of the full convergence values at 60 Ry of energy cutoff for the plane waves. A test calculation on formaldehyde showed that the experimental vibrational frequencies are reproduced with an average accuracy of 3%.

31. Orthorhombic simulation boxes with cell sides varying from 30 to 40 a.u. were chosen depending on the model system in order to leave at least 5 Å of empty space between periodic images.

42. -1 show a certain degree of variability in their relative intensity, depending on sample preparation and on their story prior to illumination. We attribute this to fluctuations in relative A/B population.
