35. We used as reference SR (FR) all-electron configurations 2 s2 2 p2 (2 s 1/2 2 2 p 1/2 2) and 2 s2 2 p4 (2 s 1/2 2 2 p 1/2 2 2 p 3/2 2) for C and O, respectively. The core radii for all channels are (1.3, 1.6) and (1.4, 1.6) in the C and O PPs, respectively. The 3d channel potential was treated as local with core radii of (1.3) (C) and (1.4) (O). When two core radii are specified, that potential was pseudized in the US scheme, with the first radius representing the norm-conserving core radius and the second the US one.
36. The all-electron configurations are the same used in the SR-LDA case. The core radii of Pt are (1.8, 2.2) for the 5d orbitals, (2.6) for the 6p orbitals, and (2.4) for the 6s orbitals. For the 2s orbitals of C the core radius is (1.4, 1.6), while for all the other channels we used the same core radii of the LDA PP. The non-linear core correction (Ref.) has been included in all the PPs.

40. We performed a test calculation with 25 Pt atoms for both bridge and substitutional SR geometries (see Sec. 3) and obtained very good agreement with the 17 Pt calculations. Around the Fermi energy the difference in the calculated transmission remains below 1%, while in the overall energy range the difference is at most 3%.
41. In the structural optimizations we require that each component of the force on the C and O atoms gets lower than 1 mRy/a.u. In the bridge and on-top geometries the C and O atoms are constrained to move on the axis perpendicular to the wire (x axis), while in the substitutional case we keep them aligned with the wire (hence on the z axis). In the tilted bridge configuration, the C and O atoms can move on the xz plane.

44. In the subs-oxygen case we start with the O atom next to a Pt atom and the C atom distant from the Pt atom at the other side. For dPt-Pt <9.0 the final configuration is the same as in the subs-carbon case (where we start with O distant from Pt), since the energy of that configuration is significantly lower.

46. The atomic orbitals suited for the projection of states with Γ3 symmetry can be chosen among spinors which are eigenstates of the total angular momentum J2 [with eigenvalue j (j+1)], and of its projection along y, Jy (with eigenvalue jy). These states, labeled (j, jy), transform according to the Γ3 or Γ4 irreducible representations.
