Fig. S14. 2 g of 1b was obtained from tetradecane solution and pressurized with CO 2 and N 2 O at room temperature a).53 g of 1b was pressurized with 3.5 Mpa of CO 2 at room temperature and monitor the pressure drop as a function of time. The calculated CO 2 mass weight at this pressure was found to be 7. %, Sample volume V = 4.89 cm 3-. b) 1.1 g of 1b was subjected to N 2 O at 3.5 Mpa V = 3.5 cm 3. In both the cases, the material was transformed from 1b to 1a and to 1c as gas diffuses through the lattice in just 2 hrs as shown. The resulting material was evacuated for 24 hrs and repressurized and absorbs the same amount of gas, which indicate the irreversible nature of the transformation. Solid-State 13 C NMR Parameters The solid state 13 C NMR data were recorded using a CMX Infinity Varian 3 MHz wide bore spectrometer. Two different probes were used, a 5 mm HXY MAS probe build by Chemagnetics/Varian and a home built 5 mm HX MAS probe. The operating frequencies were MHz for 1H and MHz for 13C. Chemical shift data is externally referenced to TMS ( ppm). The spectra were taken using a 1 pulse with proton decoupling pulse sequence. A 3 degree flip angle was used for the carbon 7

8 pulse and the repetition delay was 2s. The spinning speed used was 1 khz (HXY probe) or 4 khz (HX probe) and the acquired fid s clearly extended past the 3 ms or 5 ms acquisition time used for the experiment. Longer acquisition times were not used in order to avoid extending the power capability for each probe. Explanation for the use of two probes: Two probes were used because the HXY MAS probe (which is capable of spinning 12 khz) broke and the HX MAS which is optimized to run 13C and DRAWS was used as a quick substitute. Accept for the fact that the DRAWS probe doesn t spin fast, the data should only affected by the fact that spinning side bands are visible for the up-field carbons in that spectrum. Both probes use 5 mm zirconia pencil design rotors. Fig. S15. The solid state NMR of form 1b was shown at the bottom, which was obtained from crystallizing 1 from tetradecane solution. 16 Sample 1b was pressurized at 3.5 MPa of CO 2 for over two days and degassed under vacuum for several hours to remove the trapped gas and the 13C NMR of resulting material was shown at the top, which indicates stability of kinetic phase upon gas removal.

9 Single Crystal X-ray Analysis: Single crystal X-ray analysis of 1b after exposing the crystal to CO 2 at 3.5 MPa (5 psig).. After 3 min exposure the single crystal retained its monoclinic high density guest free form 1b, and a further 3 min exposure resulted in a diffuse powder pattern indicating the crystal is not surviving the transformation as CO 2 diffuses into the solid (Supplementary Fig. 18-2). However, powder diffraction shows the presence of low and high density phases after 6 min exposure of CO 2 at room temperature and takes 2 hrs to complete the transformation (Fig. 3). The expansion and shrinkage of the host lattice by inclusion of gas molecules in a close packed organic solid has never before been observed.
