Experimental Procedures
General Experimental Details. Starting materials were purchased from commercial
suppliers were used without further purification. Melting points were recorded by using
a WRS-1A apparatus in open capillary tubes. IR spectra were measured on a
TENSOR27 spectrometer. NMR spectra were recorded on a spectrometer operating at
400 MHz for 1H and 100 MHz for 13C NMR spectra on a Bruker ascend spectrometer.
Mass spectrometry was performed using an Electron Spray Ionization (ESI) on a
Ultimate3000 and a Micromass Quattro II triplequadrupole mass spectrometer using
electrospray ionization with a MassLynx operating system. UV/vis spectra were done
on Agilent Cary-100 spectrometer. Fluorescence spectra were performed by using a
Horiba Fluorolog-3 spectrometer. SEM images were obtained on Hitachi SU8010
microscope. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) experiments were recorded on Bruker
D8 ADVAHCL.

Compound 1•4PF6-. A 250mL two-necked flask was charged with 4 (180 mg, 0.68
mmol), dry MeCN (100 mL) and the suspension was heated at 85 °C until all of
compound had dissolved. 3 (200 mg, 0.34 mmol) was added to dry MeCN (10 mL).
The suspension was added into reaction in batches and heated to 85 °C for 3 days. The
reaction mixture was then cooled to ambient temperature and collected precipitate. The
precipitate was washed with acetone (3 × 20 mL) to give rise to a colorless solid. To
exchange Br- counterions to PF6- the solid was dissolved in H2O (10 mL), adding excess
amount of NH4PF6 (300 mg) and the mixture was stirred for 12 h. The precipitate was
collected and washed with H2O (3 × 20 mL) to give rise to a white solid (270 mg). The
final powder product was purified by column chromatography, with CH2Cl2:MeCN

X-ray Structure determination.
The crystal of 1•4Cl-: Data collections was performed on Bruker VENTURE system
with PHOTON 100 CMOS detector equipped and a Mo-target fine-focus X-ray source
(λ = 0.71073 Å) and graphite monochromator. The data was collected at 114 K crystal
temperature (Oxford Cryosystems CRYOSTREAM 700), 50 kV and 30 mA with an
appropriate 0.5° ω and φ scan strategy. Data reduction and integration were performed
with SAINT (version 8.38A).1 Data was corrected for absorption effects using the
empirical methods as implemented in SADABS (version 2016/2).2 The structure was
solved by SHELXT (version 2018/2)3 and refined by full-matrix least-squares
procedures using the SHELXL program (version 2018/3)4 through the OLEX25
graphical interface. All non-hydrogen atoms, including those in disordered parts, were
refined anisotropically. All H-atoms were included at calculated positions and refined
as riders, with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C) and Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(C) for methyl groups. In
each unit cell, there are 3 methanol molecules that were found to be severely disordered
and hard to be modeled with disorders so they were removed by the SQUEEZE routine
in PLATON (version 220719).6 The total void volume was 171.1 Å3 indicated by
PLATON, equivalent to 5.56% of the unit cell’s total volume. Further crystal and data
collection details are listed in Table S1.
1•4Cl- was dissolved in MeOH and the solution was passed through a 0.45-μm filter
into a 10-mL tube, which was placed inside a 500-mL wild-mouth bottle containing
diethyl ether (50 mL). The bottle was capped, after slow evaporation of diethyl ether at
4℃ into the MeOH solution for 7 day, and colorless single crystals of 1•4Cl- were
obtained.
The crystal of 2•4PF6-: Data collections was performed on Bruker VENTURE system
with PHOTON 100 CMOS detector equipped and a Ga-target Liquid METALJET D2
PLUS X-ray Source (λ = 1.34139 Å). The data was collected at 180 K crystal
temperature (Oxford Cryosystems CRYOSTREAM 700), 50 kV and 30 mA with an
appropriate 0.5° ω and φ scan strategy. Data reduction and integration were performed

as riders, with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C). In each unit cell, there are 20 acetonitrile
molecules that were found to be severely disordered and removed by the SQUEEZE
routine in PLATON (version 220719).6 The total void volume was 1631.8 Å3 indicated
by PLATON, equivalent to 35.86 % of the unit cell’s total volume. Further crystal and
data collection details are listed in Table S2.
2•4PF6- was dissolved in MeCN and the solution was passed through a 0.45-μm filter

4℃ into the MeCN solution for 7 day, and light-yellow single crystals of 2•4PF6- were
obtained.

High-pressure experimentsThe high-pressure experiments were performed in a set of diamond anvil cell (BGI-
type DAC) with 500 μm in diameter. T301 stainless steel sheets served as gaskets with
sample chambers of 200 μm in diameter and 250 μm in thickness. A small ruby chip
along with sample was loaded into the sample chamber for in situ pressure calibration
according to monitoring the fluorescence of the ruby R1 line. Meanwhile, in order to
provide a guarantee for obtaining the hydrostatic pressure according to the Pascal’s
principle, silicone oil was used in the experiments as a pressure-transmitting medium
(PTM). The measurements of the ruby chip were performed at a Horiba Jobin Yvon
T64000 Raman spectrometer with a 1800 gr mm−1 holographic grating. The high-
pressure fluorescence spectra under grinding and hydrostatic conditions were measured
using a fluorescence microscope (IX71, Olympus 20×, numerical aperture = 0.4)
equipped with a spectrometer (Horiba Jobin Yvon iHR320), and the light source of
which was a mercury lamp with an excitation wavelength of 365 nm.
