Figure 1S. Illustration of the reactive domains on the surface. Each color identifies a chemically
active region. Drawing (a) is for the simulation with MS=0 with DZ basis set and (b) is for the
simulation with MS=6 with DZP basis set. The surface is on the XY plane and is viewed from the
Z- axis. The “unbound” oxygen atoms are an artifact of the periodic boundary conditions.

Figure 2S. Plots of O-O and Si-O distances important to understand the geometrical changes that
occurred with: (a) O70 and O111; (b) O12 and O53; (c) and O24 and O41. Computations were
performed with the MS=0/DZ protocol.
