(Supplementary material) Regarding the EFP method, it has been successfully applied for describing the noncovalent interactions in molecular clusters and liquids, including complexes of water with benzene and various alcohols, and was shown to provide accurate results as compared to ab initio methods The EFP method has also been a very useful tool in hybrid quantum mechanics QM/EFP investigations of molecular properties, chemical reactions and solvatochromic effects

Since the different cyclic structures are connected by transition states for water trimer and tetramer, we have considered a weighted sampling of the lowest conformers, namely (H2O) 3 -a, and (H2O) 3 -b, for the

10 trimer and (H2O) 4 -a, and (H2O) 4 -b for the tetramer. The weights have been taken by the cluster distribution according the unimolecular equilibrium constant between the clusters in each case. The symmetry factors employed (σ) are 4 for the dimer, 12 for (H2O) 3 -a, 4 for (H2O) 3 -b, and 8 for the two tetramer clusters (H2O) 4 -a, and (H2O) 4 -b. For the ozone-water complexes, the equilibrium constants have been calculated for the O 3 + (H 2 O) n O 3 (H 2 O) n and we have considered the sum of the different O 3 (H 2 O) n clusters playing a role. Thus, for O 3 (H 2 O) we have considered the complexes A1, A2 and A3 (with σ=4), and A4(with σ=8). For O 3 (H 2 O) 2 we have considered the four complexes (with σ=4). For O 3 (H 2 O) 3 we have considered the complexes C1, C2, and C3 (with σ=4). For O 3 (H 2 O) 4 we have considered the complexes D1, D2, and D3 (with σ=8).
