  1. Our simulations include the uncatalyzed and Fe-catalyzed endo-ODA reaction in the gas phase, solution (Soln), and solution in the presence of an OEEF (with a strength of –0.003 au).
  2. a6-c stands for the six-coordinate mode pathway.
  3. b5-c stands for the five-coordinate mode pathway.
  4. cPercentage (%) of the dynamics stepwise trajectories are given in parenthesis.
  5. dTime gap (fs) of the two bond formation averaged over the productive trajectories (those which do not form the C–O bond after 900 fs is not considered).
