32. We use the adjective "diabatic" for electronic states whose wave function does not depend on the nuclear coordinates. In the quantum chemistry community, such an approach is often known as "crude diabatic."

46. The V5Z correlation consistent basis set and MOLPRO's default numerical integration parameters have been used for the simulations. The convergence with respect to both the basis set and these parameters have been carefully inspected.

56. Whereas the oxygen-oxygen and the oxygen-surface distances were optimized during the calculations, the other degrees of freedom, i.e., the rotational ones and the lateral surface coordinates, were kept fixed. A total of 350 000 of such configurations were inspected for each of the histograms shown in Fig.. In each run, 20 images were used and the location of the dissociated final state, if there was any in the respective elbow plot, was determined by a crude bisection method. The initial image was kept fixed in the vacuum at 5.0 Å distance from the surface at the equilibrium bond length of an isolated oxygen molecule.

59. To construct a single and smooth PES on which the crossing points indeed are the highest barriers, we inspected the adiabatic representation of the triplet-singlet system for a vanishing coupling ((≪1meV ).
