Table 3. Parameters used in the K2-SURF model.

Parameter Parameter description Parameter value
α s,0,lim Surface accommodation coefficient on an adsorbate-free surface 1
τ d,lim Desorption lifetime of limonene on the surface 2.3 × 104 ns (Fig. 5), 2.6 × 104 ns (Fig. S2) a
k 1 First-order rate coefficient for the conversion of the C* down limonene configuration to the C* up limonene configuration 4.6 × 109 s–1 b
k 2 First-order rate coefficient for the conversion of the C* up limonene configuration to the C* down limonene configuration 6.8 × 108 s–1 c
σ lim Effective adsorption cross-section of a limonene molecule 0.55 nm2 (Fig. 5), 0.79 nm2 (Fig. S2 and 6)
c 1 Fraction of limonene adsorbed as C* down, (1 – c1) is the fraction adsorbed as C* up 0.5

aFor simplicity, the same value is assumed for the C* down and C* up configurations. Also note that these values are for room temperature (∼296 K). At other temperatures the following equation is used: (1/τd,lim) = exp(–6423 × (1/T) + 32.24).

bThe activation energy associated with this rate coefficient is 24.6 kJ mol–1 assuming a pre-exponential factor of 1 × 1014 s–1.

cThe activation energy associated with this rate coefficient is 29.3 kJ mol–1 assuming a pre-exponential factor of 1 × 1014 s–1.
