1. General experimental methods
Materials
All reagents and solvents were purchased from commercial sources and were used without further
purification, unless indicated otherwise. Tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)methane (A-1) and
2,6,14-triaminotriptycene (A-2) were prepared following procedures reported in the literature.
Instrumentation
Liquid 1H NMR spectra was recorded in CDCl3 as internal reference (7.26 ppm) on Bruck 400
spectrometer. Liquid 13
C NMR was recorded at 100.6 MHz in CDCl3 as internal reference (77.0
ppm). Solid-state NMR experiments were performed on a Bruker WB Avance II 400 MHz
spectrometer. The 13
C CP/MAS NMR spectra were recorded with a 4-mm double-resonance MAS
probe and with a sample spinning rate of 10.0 kHz; a contact time of 2 ms (ramp 100) and pulse
delay of 3 s were applied. FTIR spectra of the samples were collected on a TENSOR 27 FTIR at a
resolution of 2 cm-1
. The nitrogen adsorption and desorption isotherms were measured at 77 K
using a Micromeritics ASAP 2020M system. The samples were outgassed at 120 oC for 8 h before
the measurements. Surface areas were calculated from the adsorption data using Langmuir and
Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) methods. The pore-size-distribution curves were obtained from
the adsorption branches using non-local density functional theory (NLDFT) method. Field
emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations were performed on a Hitachi S-4800
microscope operated at an accelerating voltage of 15.0 kV. Transmission electron microscopy
(TEM) images were obtained with a JEOL JEM-1011 instrument operated at 200 kV. The thermal
properties of the materials were evaluated using a thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) instrument
(STA PT1600 Linseis) over the temperature range of 25 to 800 °C under air atmosphere with a
heating rate of 10 °C/min. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was performed on an ESCAL
Lab 220i-XL spectrometer at a pressure of ~3×10-9
mbar (1 mbar = 100 Pa) using Al Ka as the
excitation source (hn=1486.6 eV) and operated at 15 kV and 20 mA. The binding energies were
referenced to the C1s line at 284.8 eV from adventitious carbon. The loading content of Ru in the
catalysts was determined by ICP-AES (VISTA-MPX). ESI-MS were recorded on a Thermo
Finnigan LCQ Advantage spectrometer in ESI mode with a spray voltage of 4.8 kV.
2. Synthetic procedures
(1) Synthesis of tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)methane (A-1)
Ref.: Macromolecules 2013, 46, 3058-3066; J. Org. Chem. 2006, 71, 6626-6629.
3
Tetrakis(4-nitrophenyl)methane was first synthesized as follows. Tetraphenylmethane (23 mmol)
was added into fuming nitric acid (40 mL) at -40 oC under vigorous stirring. Then acetic
anhydride (12.5 mL) and acetic acid (25 mL) were slowly added and stirred for 10 h. After
filtration, the precipitate was washed with H2O and dried at 60 oC under vacuum for 10 h. The
resultant yellow solid was used directly for the next step without further purification.
For the synthesis of tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)methane (A-1), hydrazine monohydrate (1.5 mL)
and Raney Ni (~1.0 g) were added to a solution of tetrakis(4-nitrophenyl)methane (2 mmol) in
THF (20 mL). After heating at 60 oC until all hydrazine was quenched, the mixture was cooled to
room temperature and then filtered. The filtrate was concentrated by rotary evaporation to remove
the solvent, and tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)methane (A-1) was obtained as a white solid in
quantitative yield. 1H NMR (d6-DMSO, 400 MHz) δ 4.84 (s, 8H), 6.33-6.42 (m, 8H), 6.66-6.73 (m,
8H); 13
C NMR (d6-DMSO, 100.6 MHz) δ 61.09, 112.55, 131.01, 135.82, 145.63; ESI-MS calcd
for C25H24N4 380.2, found 381.1 [M+H]+.

(2) Synthesis of 2,6,14-triaminotriptycene (A-2)
Ref.: Macromolecules 2013, 46, 3058-3066; J. Org. Chem. 2006, 71, 6626-6629.
2,6,14-Trinitrotriptycene was first synthesized as follows. To triptycene (1 mmol) was added
concentrated HNO3 (10 mL), and the mixture was heated at 75 oC for 24 h. The brown solution
was cooled to R.T., then poured into H2O (100 mL) and stirred. The precipitate was collected,
washed with cold water, and then dried at 60 oC under vacuum for 10 h. The crude products were
separated by column chromatography on silica gel with dichloromethane/petroleum ether (1:1) as
eluent to afford the desired 2,6,14-trinitrotriptycene.
2,6,14-Triaminotriptycene (A-2) was prepared by a procedure similar to that for except that the
precursor compound is 2,6,14-trinitrotriptycene. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 4.81 (s, 6H), 4.88
(s, 2H), 6.05-6.09 (m, 3H), 6.55-6.62 (m, 3H), 6.87-6.94 (m, 3H). 13
C NMR (d6-DMSO, 100.6
MHz) δ 51.25, 52.42, 108.18, 108.43, 108.66, 109.81, 110.18, 110.55, 122.51, 122.90, 123.26,
133.17, 134.08, 135.05, 145.06, 145.28, 145.47, 146.17, 146.95, 147.78. ESI-MS calcd for
C20H17N3 299.1, found 300.2 [M+H]+.

(3) Synthesis of Azo-MOP-N
To a mixture of aromatic amine (A-N, N=1~4, 0.5 mmol) and NaI (4 mmol for A-1, 3 mmol for
A-2~A-4) in an appropriate solvent (30 mL) was added t-BuOCl (4 mmol for A-1, 3 mmol for
A-2~A-4) under N2 atmosphere at room temperature. The mixture was stirred for 1 h and
quenched with aqueous Na2S2O3 (1.0 M, 30 mL). The precipitate was filtered off and washed with
distilled H2O, THF, CH3OH and acetone. Subsequently, it was dried at 120 oC under vacuum for
6
48 h to yield Azo-MOP-N. Yields were 95%, 97%, 96%, 95% for Azo-MOP-1, Azo-MOP-2,
Azo-MOP-3 and Azo-MOP-4, respectively. Elemental analysis data: Azo-MO-1 (C 65.86%, H
4.24%, N 11.33%), Azo-MO-2 (C 69.64%, H 4.45%, N 8.52%), Azo-MO-3 (C 68.99%, H 4.41%,
N 8.48%), Azo-MO-4 (C 57.23%, H 4.00%, N 11.99%).
(4) Synthesis of Azo-MOP-N-Ru
RuCl3·3H2O (130 mg) was dissolved in 25 mL of EtOH, and then Azo-MOP-N (1 g) was added.
The mixture was kept stirring for 24 h at room temperature. The resulting solid was isolated by
filtration and washed with EtOH, and then purified using Soxhlet extraction (EtOH) for 24 h.
Azo-MOP-N-Ru was obtained as a brown powder after drying at 100 oC under vacuum for 12 h.
(5) Typical procedure of the methylation of amines catalyzed by Azo-MOP-N-Ru
A stainless steel autoclave with a Teflon tube (25 mL inner volume) was purged with CO2 to
evacuate air, and then Azo-MOP-3-Ru (42.6 mg), PPh3 (0.1 mmol, 26.2 mg), N-methylaniline
(0.5 mmol, 53.6 mg) PhSiH3 (4 mmol, 432.8 mg) and THF (2 mL) were added successively. CO2
(0.5 MPa) was charged in the reactor at room temperature. The autoclave was stirred at 120 oC for
24 h. After reaction, the autoclave was cooling to 0 oC then the excess of gas was vented. The
product yields were determined by GC with a flame ionization detector using dodecane as an
internal standard and were further identified using GC-MS by comparing retention times and
fragmentation patterns with authentic samples. For the substrate scope investigation, the products
were isolated by column chromatography on silica gel (eluent: petroleum and dichloromethane)
and identified by NMR spectra as shown in ESI. For catalyst recycling, the catalyst was recycled
by filtration, washed with THF and ethanol, and then dried under vacuum at 60 oC for 24 h,
followed by being reused for the next run.

and THF as solvent, respectively.

Scheme S1. Proposed reaction mechanism for the methylation of amines with CO2 catalyzed
by Azo-MOP-3-Ru/PPh3. Firstly, Azo functionality-activated N-methylaniline could coordinate
with CO2 to afford the carbamate salt, which was then attacked by the hydrosilane, affording the
