I) Experimental Section Materials and Methods. Chemicals were purchased from commercial sources and were used without further purification. Thermogravimetric analysis was performed on a NETZSCH TG 209 thermobalance in a nitrogen atmosphere, sample was placed in alumina containers and data were recorded at 10 C/min between 20 and 1000 C. IR spectra (KBr pellet) were obtained from a Nicolet 5DX spectrometer in the region of 400 4000 cm 1. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) data were collected on Bruker D8 ADVANCE diffractometer at room temperature using Cu Kα (λ = 1.5418 Å) radiation. Elemental analysis of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen was carried out on a Vario EL III analyzer. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction data were collected on an Agilent Technologies SuperNova X-ray diffractometer with Cu Kα radiation (λ = 1.54178 Å) at 100 K. The data were processed using CrysAlis pro, [1] the structure was solved and refined using Full-matrix least-squares based on F 2 with program SHELXS-97 and SHELXL-97 [2] within Olex2. [3] The contribution of highly disordered solvent molecules was treated using SQUEEZE procedure implemented in PLATON program. [4] Gas sorption isotherms were performed on Micromeritics ASAP 2020 and Trist 3020 aparatus. Magnetic susceptibility measurements were carried out on a Quantum Design MPMS XL7 SQUID magnetometer in the 2 300 K temperature range under magnetic field of 1000 Oe. Magnetic data were calibrated with the sample holder, and diamagnetic corrections were estimated from Pascal s constants. [1] CrysAlisPro, Version 1.171.35.19. (2011). Agilent Technologies Inc.

and triethyleneamine (100 ul) was added to 5 ml EtOH and the solution was stirred 15 min to let TATB acid completely dissolve; 3) The two solutions were mixed in a 23 ml Teflon-lined stainless steel vessel, and the vessel was sealed and heated to 130 ºC within 3600 min, maintained at that temperature for another 3600 min and then cooled to 30 ºC in 2880 min. Dark yellow block crystals of the title complex were washed by EtOH and separated by filtration. Yield: ~63%.
