Dissociation was ascertained in the present work in two ways: (1)the interatomic distance increases by more than 20% and (2)the peak height of the crystal orbital Hamiltonian population (COHP) decreases down to 1/5 of that of the initial state. The COHP is defined in R. Dronskowski and P.E. Blöchl, J. Phys. Chem. 97, 8617 (1993). JPCHAX 0022-3654 10.1021/j100135a014
