A.2. Ion-molecule reactions (units cm³ s^-1 mol

A.3. Neutral-neutral reactions (units cm³ s^-1 mol

A.4. Electron recombination (units cm³ s^-1 mol

A.5. Photoreactions (units s^-1 mol

where is the CO self-shielding factor

A.6. Charge transfer reactions (unit cm³ s^-1 mol

Appendix B: conservation conditions

Along with the above sets of reactions, we also use the following conservation conditions when evolving the chemistry

The following fractional abundances are assumed for our models:

Appendix C: initial conditions

When evolving the time-dependent chemistry, we use the following initial conditions:
