As Fig. 3 in the main text, but showing results for different monolayer thicknesses of the active surface (as indicated on top of each panel). For clarity, only those species with a relative abundance of over 1% are labeled on the pie charts. The fiducial 100 ML model is also included for reference.-- astro-ph.GA
