Abstract

In this Reply we answer the two main arguments raised in the Comment. The first argument is related to the binding energy of the methanol dimer and its influence on the dimerization rate constant. We show that the dimerization rate constants calculated in the Comment are unphysically low. We report values that are about two orders of magnitude higher than the values of the Comment, which confirm the conclusions of the original article that dimers can be present in a small amount. The second argument based on the dependence of the pseudo-first order rates on the methanol concentration was already explained in detail in the Supporting Information of the original article.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
