Figure S1. Structures of Cn +/2+ +/2+. Figure S2 Structures and activation energies of isomerization processes of C1 C4 and C1M  C4M Data in parentheses don’t include the ZPVE corrections. Values tagged with a and b are from ref [30] calculated at the MPWB1K/aug-cc-pVDZ level under 490K and 1000K conditions, with c and d are from ref [26] obtained at MP2/6-311++G(d,p)//MP2/6-31G(d) level and from [8] obtained at B3LYP/6- 311+G(2df,2p) level, respectively.
