S1 1. Materials and measurements

Trityl chloride (97%), (99.5%), isopentyl nitrite (96%), 50% hypophosphorous acid solution, fuming (99.5%) and tetrahydrofuran (THF, 99%) were obtained from Sigma- Aldrich. Tetraphenylethylene (98%), Sodium hydroxide (pellet, 98%), powder (99.9%) and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF, 99.9%) were purchased from Alfa Aesar. (glacial), concentrated hydrochloride acid and concentrated sulfuric acid were obtained from Fisher Scientific. Ethanol (200 proof) was purchased from Decon Lab. All chemicals were used without purification unless otherwise noted.

Solution NMR was performed on either a Bruker FT-NMR spectrometer (400 MHz) or a Bruker FT-NMR spectrometer (300 MHz). Solid-state CP/MAS 13C NMR spectra were collected on a Bruker Avance III three-channel spectrometer. Infrared spectroscopy was performed on a Nicolet Avatar 360 FT-IR. UV-Vis absorption spectra were obtained on an Aligent Cary 300 facility with DRA-CA-30I solid-state sample holder. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) was performed on a Perkin Elmer STA 6000 Thermogravimetric Analyzer, heated from 30 °C to 1000 °C at a rate of 10 °C/minute under N2 atmosphere. X-ray diffraction patterns were acquired from 3 to 80° by a Rigaku Multiflex Diffractometer.

Gas adsorption isotherms were collected using a Micromeritics ASAP 2020-accelerated surface area and porosimetry analyser after the samples had been degassed at 150 °C for 8 h under vacuum. Before the every adsorption measurement, the samples were degassed further at 150 °C for 5 h.

S17 7. Additional gas adsorption data for azo-POFs and ene-POFs

Gas adsorption measurements were performed using an ASAP 2020 volumetric adsorption analyzer using high-purity grade (99.999%) gases. N2 and gas adsorption isotherms were measured at 77 K using a liquid N2 bath; CO2 adsorption isotherms were measured at 273 K using an ice water bath and 291 K and 298 K using water bath. All samples were degassed at 150 °C for 5 h before gas measurements. Pore size distribution was calculated from N2 isotherms using a spherical/cylindrical pore NLDFT adsorption branch model.

The isosteric heats of adsorption were calculated using a virial type thermal equation given below based on the adsorption at 273 K and 291 K:

x y 1 i i ln(P)= ln(n)+ ai n + bi n T i=0 i=0 where the pressure (P) is expressed in mmHg, the amount absorbed (n) is expressed in mmol/g, and the temperature (T) is expressed in K. The virial coefficients ai and bi were fit by increasing the respective number of each (x and y) until a sufficient goodness of fit was reached. The values of the virial coefficients a0 to ax were than used to calculate the isosteric heat of adsorption (Qst) based on the equation given below:

x i Qst = -Rai n i=0

Henry’s law selectivities (SH) were calculated by the ratio of Henry’s law constants of CO2 (HC) and N2 (HN).

HC SH = HN

The Henry’s law constants for CO2 and N2 were obtained by the slope of linear fitting of the initial data (pressure less than 0.1 bar) of the gas adsorption isotherms.

Ideal absorbed solution theory (IAST) selectivities were calculated by fitting the single-site Langmuir model for N2 isotherms as given below:

q bP q = sat 1+ bP

and the dual-site Langmuir model for CO2 isotherms as given below:

S18 qsat ,1b1P qsat,2b2P q = q1 + q2 = + 1+ b1P 1+ b2P

where the pressure (P) is expressed in mmHg, the saturation loading (qsat) is expressed in mmol/g, the molar loading of adsorbate (q) is measured in mmol/g, and b is the fitted parameter for the isotherm. 1 and 2 refer to two different sites. The IAST selectivity factors (SIAST) were than calculated using the following equation:

qA / qB SIAST = PA / PB where qA and qB are the are amount of amounts of A and B absorbed respectively, and PA and PB are the partial pressure of A and B respectively.
