  1. The concentrations are reported in molarity (mol l−1), calculated with the assumption that all the precursors are completely dissociated. The specific amount of precursors can be found in Methods. The pH values are experimentally measured. The redox potentials are derived from data in Pourbaix’s Atlas40.
