31. Although DFT calculations with the basis set used cannot be employed for calculation of reliable absolute energies, the calculated activation energy values are much higher than those we obtained with the same approximations in our previous studies. For that reason and for the low activation energies we have found for the alternative pathways, we may disregard these mechanisms.
