Figure S7. Job s plot of RBS with Pd 2+ obtained by UV-Vis measurements (λ = 550 nm). The total concentration of RBS and Pd 2+ is 2.5 µm. Figure S8. The proposed mechanism of CN - closing the ring of RBS. 4 / 8
Figure S9.Optimized structures of RBS (a) and RBO (b) with heavy atoms dealing with hartree fock ab initio calculation method based on 3-21G** basis set using Gaussian03 program. The local difference between RBS (c) and RBO (d) was compared. Although the whole conformation of RBS was similar with RBO, the orientation of aromatic six-ring connected with S atom (in RBS) was changed compared with O atom (in RBO). The dihedral angle between S-C-N-O (in RBS) was 103.56 degree while that of O-C-N-O (in RBO) was 108 degree. The distance between S and O (in RBS) was 3.401 angstrom while that between O and O (in RBO) was 2.941 angstrom. Figure S10. The Mulliken atomic charge distribution on the RBS (a) and RBO (b).
