Experimental details: Materials and Methods : Tetrakis[4-(carboxyphenyl)oxamethyl]methane acid (H 4 L) was synthesized according to published procedures. 1 All metal salts and DMF (N,N-dimethylformamide) (Sigma-Aldrich) were obtained from commercial sources and used without further purification. Elemental analyses (C, H and N) were performed on a Perkin-Elmer 240 CHN elemental analyzer. Powder X-ray diffraction measurements were recorded on a D/Max-2500 X-ray diffractometer using Cu Kα radiation. Thermal analyses (N2 atmosphere, heating rate of 5 C/min) were carried out in a Labsys NETZSCH TG 209 Setaram apparatus. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) was measured on a JEOL-7500F Microscope equipped with an energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) instrument. ICP was measured by ICP-9000(N+M) (USA Thermo Jarrell-Ash Corp). A portion of the research was performed using EMSL, a national scientific user facility sponsored by the Department of Energy's Office of Biological and Environmental Research and located at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (USA). Syntheses of structures. For all structures, TGA and elemental analysis revealed the amount of solvent in the crystals and were taken into account to decide the formula unit and calculate the yield. Synthesis of 1a: Tetrakis[4-(carboxyphenyl)oxamethyl]methane acid (H 4 L) (30.8 mg, 0.05 mmol) and MnCl 2 4H 2 O (22 mg, 0.11mmol) were added to a mixture of (DMF) (4 ml) and H 2 O (100 µl) in a capped vial, sonicated to mix, and heated to 110 C for 72 followed by slow cooling to room temperature over 8 h. Block-shaped colorless crystals of 1a were obtained in a 72% yield (based on H 4 L). Elemental analysis calcd (%) for 1a SI 3

Synthesis of 1b: H 4 L (30.8 mg, 0.05 mmol) and MnCl 2 4H 2 O (22 mg, 0.11mmol) were added to a mixture of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) (4 ml) and H 2 O (1 ml) in a capped vial, sonicated to mix, and heated to 110 C for 24 h, followed by slow cooling to room temperature over 8 h. Bar-shaped colorless crystals of 1b were obtained in a 68% yield (based on H 4 L). Elemental analysis calcd (%) for 1b [Mn 3 (L) 2 ] 2-2H 3 O + 12DMF: C, 53.06; H, 5.98; N, 7.28%. Found: C, 52.09; H, 5.76; N, 6.78%. Note: one of the two solvated protons (2H 3 O + ) per formula unit balancing the framework charge were found by X-ray diffraction analysis but the other one is suggested by TGA and elemental analysis. Transformation of 1a (or 1b) to 2 and 3: Fresh colorless crystals of 1a (or 1b) were briefly dried on filter paper and prior to immersion in a DMF solution of either Co(NO 3 ) 2 or Ni(NO 3 ) 2 (to afford 2 and 3 respectively). Upon standing the color of the immersed crystals gradually changed to purple and light-green, respectively. The crystals of 2 and 3 were filtered and washed with DMF. Following this, cation-captured crystals were stored in fresh DMF for convenient observation and to further remove any residual surface impurities. Cation capture/exchange experiments: The fresh colorless crystals of 1a (or 1b) were briefly dried on the filter paper, and then 20mg crystals were immersed in 2 ml DMF solution of M(NO 3 ) 2 xh 2 O (M=Zn, Cu, Co, Ni, Mg, Ca, Sr) or YNO3 (Y=Li, Na) with a molarity of 0.2 M/L (0.1 M/L for Sr 2+ ). After three days, the crystals were filtered and washed with sufficient DMF to remove surface-absorbed cations. Then the crystals were examined by EDX or ICP-OES studies to decide the metal ratios (Table S1 and Table S2). For the selective metal ion capture experiments, the crystals were immersed in the blended DMF solution containing both metal SI 4
salts (0.2 M/L). For the UV-vis study of Co(II) ions capture process, 535mg (0.25mmol) crystals of 1a were soaked in 10 ml DMF solution of Co(NO 3 ) 2 6H 2 O (0.2 M/L). X-Ray Structure Determination:All crystallographic data (Table S3) were collected with a Bruker Kappa APEX II Single Crystal Diffractometer, which was equipped with graphite monochromatic Mo Kα radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å). Structures were solved by direct methods with the SHELXTL-97 program and refined by full-matrix least-squares techniques against F2 with the SHELXTL-97 program package. 2 All non-hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically, and hydrogen atoms were located and refined isotropically. The contribution of disordered solvent molecules was treated as a diffuse using the Squeeze procedure in Platon. 3 The resulting new HKL4 files were used to further refine the structures. CCDC 873429 (1a), 873431(1b), 873432 (2), 873430 (Cu- inserted 1a), and 873433 (3) contain the supplementary crystallographic data for this paper.
