between

and

N-bromosuccinimide: Our X-ray snapshot observation indicated that N-bromosuccinimide, usually known as bromo cation synthon, generated bromo anion in the reaction.

Indeed, the formation of bromo anion

was confirmed by the fact that the addition of AgNO3 after the reaction in acetonitrile afforded pale yellow precipitation of AgBr.

We can conclude that oxidation reaction of xanthate ligand

X-ray Crystallographic Analysis The data collections were done using a Bruker Apex-II CCD rotating anode diffractometer with focusing mirrors with Mo-Kα (λ = 0.71073 Å) radiation.

Bruker APEX2 software4 was used

for the data collections and CrysAlisPro5 for the data processing.

The structures were solved

by charge flipping with SUPERFLIP6 and refined by full-matrix least-squares methods using SHELXL-20137 within the OLEX28 suite of programs.

Empirical absorption correction using

spherical harmonics, implemented in SCALE3 ABSPACK scaling algorithm within the CrysAlisPro software. atom model.

All C-H hydrogen positions were calculated and refined using a riding

In all structures, the framework atoms was first located and refined (no disorder

of the framework was observed) after which in each case the guest (3, 4 and 5) was clearly visible in the difference electron density map.

However the refinements of the guest with full

occupancy resulted in larger than expected temperature factors coupled with one (1•3 and 1•5) or two (1•4) large additional electron density peaks.

Careful refinements with minimal

restraints and constraints (see below) revealed the guest to be slightly disordered in plane of the guest, 90:10 for 1•3, 80:20 for 1•4 and 95:5 for 1•5.

The extra residual electron density peaks

were identified to belong to the minor disorder component and in a case of 1•3 was assigned as Pd, in 1•4 as Pd and Br and in 1•5 as Br atoms.

Only the heavy atoms of the minor component

of the disordered guest could be reliably located and taken into the final refinements.

In the

structure 1•3 altogether 13 restraints (DFIX) and one constraint (EADP) were applied to the three solvent nitrobenzene molecules (with occupancies 1/2, 1/3, 1/3), two EDAP constraints had to be used to equalize the guest 3 carbon atoms.

Due to the quite low quality of the data

for 1•4, the following restraints and constraints had to be applied: three DFIX and one EADP for the solvent acetonitrile; due to the positional disorder and uneven thermal movement of the guest 4 atoms in the final anisotropic refinement, they were constrained to have the same thermal movement using one general EDAP to 23 atoms, in addition two EADP’s were used for the minor component Pd and Br. the guest 5 was applied.

For the 1•5, one EDAP constraint equalizing two carbons for

A few bad reflections were omitted from the final refinements: 12 for

1•3, 9 for 1•4 and 4 reflections for 1•5.

As the crystal lattice in each three structures contains

large voids filled with a lot of scattered electron density which could not be modeled chemically, after locating and modeling any chemically reasonable solvent molecule(s), the remaining electron density was flattened out using the solvent masking protocol inside OLEX2 resulting in a decrease in the final R value, reported below as Rmask and Runmask.

Figure S3. Electron density maps (Fo) obtained by time-dependent X-ray diffradtion in the reaction.

(a), (b) Electron density maps (Fo) before the wash.

The same data are contoured at

different σ levels, namely 0.60σ level for (a) and 0.95σ level for (b), respectively. Unassignable electron densitiy in the pores hampered precise identification of the resulting intermediate at this stage.

(c)–(g) Electron density maps (Fo) obtained at 15 min, 1 h, 2 h, 6 h,

and 15 h after the wash.

After the wash, the strong electron densities in the pores disappeared

and electron density at the coordination site of Pd trans to the nitrogen donor (indicated as site 1) gradually increased and reached maximum after 2 h.

Crystallographic refinement of data in

(e) showed the formation of intermediate 4, which gradually converted product 5 as time passed. (h) Electron density maps (Fo) in the final state.

All maps are depicted within 2.5 Å-thick slice

of the cartridge molecules and contoured at the same absolute 0.95σ level unless otherwise mentioned.

Figure S8. A putative reaction mechanism. NBS oxidizes CH3OCS2- to generate Br- and (CH3OCS2)2.

This redox reaction (CH3OCS2Na to (CH3OCS2)2) was independently confirmed

in a solution experiment.

(See control experiment in page S7)

A Pd(II)/Pd(0) catalytic cycle

can be proposed for the aromatic bromination by assuming the reoxidation of Pd(0) with NBS (i. e., Pd(0) + “Br+” --> Pd(II) + “Br-“).
