18. Note that noninteger charges can still be produced for degenerate adiabatic states; here, for example, in the case of dissocation into three monomers. This is not a real drawback, however, as the noninteger charges can easily be removed by rotations in the electronic state subspace corresponding to the degenerate energy level.

24. Dependence of fragmentation patterns on the initial vibration excitation of neutrals was discussed in Ref.. The initial excitation of neutrals used in the present calculation slightly overestimates experimental assessments (Ref.) and may by part supply necessary delocalization of the nuclei due to nuclear quantum effects, not explicitly included in the classical Monte Carlo simulation.

31. As is known from a previous study, the C method does not conserve the total angular momentum of nuclei, even if its initial value is set to zero. We briefly discuss this issue at the end of Sec..

49. Following the settings of Ref., the zero of energy is identified with the fully dissociate state Rg+ +Rg+Rg with the spin-orbit coupling neglected and, consequently, the energy of Rg+ (P2 3/2) +Rg+Rg corresponds then to -1/3 of the energy splitting between Rg+ (P2 3/2) and Rg+ (P2 1/2) induced by the spin-orbit interaction.

52. In general, quenching is quite rare for the C method due to algorithm constraints and typically a few (up to ten) electronic hops are detected within the 100 ps time window. For a few trajectories, however, the hop frequency exceeds 100 hops per 100 ps, which eventually leads to a perceptible break of the nuclear angular momentum conservation for these anomalous trajectories.
