37. To assess the rate of convergence of the QSM, we have applied the method to the test systems described in Ref., i.e., several arrangements of a Pt-heptamer island on a Pt(111) surface. It turns out that the average number of necessary force calls per image until the forces are smaller than 0.01 or 0.001 eV/Å is 48 or 69, respectively. The most efficient of the algorithms compared in Ref., the global Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS) algorithm without line search, is reported to need 49 or 73 iterations for the same accuracy, respectively.

44. The interaction energy in the considered precursor is slightly positive (0.07 eV). This is probably due to an unphysically strong intermolecular repulsion in the basically flat benzene monolayer (in a real experiment single molecules adsorb one after another experiencing less intermolecular interaction), for one reason, and also related to the fact that the very small interaction energy is near the accuracy level of the counterpoise correction. The real interaction can be expected to be slightly attractive indeed. In either case, the energy barrier can be surmounted by a considerable fraction of the impinging benzene molecules.
