Figure S-6. Naming convention for atoms present in ethanolamine and borates species. The
carbons atoms on the ethanolamine are defined using two numbers because systems with two
ethanolamines were analysed. Then the first number defines the ethanolamine being measured
and the second one differentiates the carbon in the backbone.
