Conformational analysis for catalyst 1 (Figures S1-S3) II. Structure and relative stability of identified binary complexes (Figure S4) III. Test calculations for selected H-bonded systems (Figures S5-S6) IV. Energy diagram obtained with the solvated model (Figure S7) V. Stationary points leading to the (S) product (Figures S8-S9) VI. Cartesian coordinates of located stationary points VII. Full author list for reference 18 S1

2 I. Conformational analysis for catalyst 1 (Figures S1-S3) The results of constrained geometry optimizations carried out at B3LYP/6-31G* level for catalyst 1a are presented in Figures S1-S3. Dihedral angles describing the relative orientation of N-H bonds of thiourea and the rotation of the cyclohexyl moiety of 1a have been varied systematically by φ =10 o allowing five optimization steps for each constrained dihedral angle. The structures corresponding to the local maxima on the potential energy curves have been used to estimate the rotational energy barriers between the stable conformation by carrying out subsequent B3LYP/ G** single-point calculations for each structure. Figure S1. Energy variation along constrained geometry optimization with respect to dihedral angle SCNH (φ, shown in red). Local minima 1a 1 and 1a 2 correspond to φ = o and -9.7 o, E refers to the calculated energy gap as obtained at B3LYP/6-31G* (B3LYP/ G**) level. S2

3 Figure S2. Energy variation along constrained geometry optimization with respect to dihedral angle CNCC (φ, shown in red). Local minima 1a 3, 1a 4 and 1a 5 correspond to φ = 97.6 o, o and o, E refers to the calculated energy gap as obtained at B3LYP/6-31G* (B3LYP/ G**) level. S3

4 Figure S3. Energy variation along constrained geometry optimization with respect to dihedral angle SCNH (φ, shown in red). Local minima 1a 1 and 1a 3 correspond to φ = o and -1.1 o, E refers to the calculated energy gap as obtained at B3LYP/6-31G* (B3LYP/ G**) level. S4

5 II. Structure and relative stability of identified binary complexes (Figures S4) Structures of stationary points located for binary catalyst-substrate complexes are shown in Figure S4. Complex 2 is derived from 2 by 180 o rotation of the substrate El around the N-C bond; 2b and 3b correspond to monodentate coordination to 1a (7.5) 2 (7.1) 2b (5.7) (7.3) 3b (7.2) Figure S4. Optimized structures of catalyst-substrate adducts. Bond distances characteristic for H-bonds are given in Å, and binding energies of the substrates (in kcal/mol, with respect to dissociation limits) are shown in parentheses. S5

6 In order to estimate the effect of basis set superposition error (BSSE) on the catalyst-substrate binding energies, we computed the counterpoise corrections for complexes 2 and 3, and we obtained very similar corrections for the two binary complexes (1.1 and 1.2 kcal/mol, respectively) indicating that the inclusion of BSSE corrections does not alter the relative stability of catalyst-substrate complexes. S6

7 III. Test calculations for selected H-bonded systems Using the same methodology as described in Computational Details, we carried out test calculations for selected H bonded systems with available experimental thermochemical data and compared the calculated association energies ( E calc ) with measured free enthalpies of association ( G o exp). a) Dimerization of 2-pyridone O N H 1.75 H N E calc = kcal/mol O G o exp = -2.7 kcal/mol Figure S5.

The notation corresponds to that used in the paper. For each structure, total electronic energies obtained at B3LYP/6-31G* and B3LYP/ G**//B3LYP/6-31G* levels are given in parentheses.
