18. The hopping of an epoxy group has a comparable energy barrier as single vacancy diffusion in graphite [G.D. Lee, Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 205501 (2005)]. Based on a quick estimate of the fast stretching mode of C-C bonds, the hopping rate of an epoxy group on graphite is roughly once every 100 sec at room temperature.
