A SnCl molecule, which hs one coordintion site, is complexed with n imine site of DPAs t the rtio of :. On the other hnd, in the complextion of DPA G4 with Eu(OTf) 3, which hs multi coordintion sites, the spectrum chnged lrgel ddition of the smll mount of Eu(OTf) 3 to the solution of DPA G4 (SI-Figure ). This phenomenon shows tht Eu(OTf) 3 molecule is complexed with the severl imine sites of DPA G4. Therefore, stepwise complextion ws not confirmed, ut the spectrl chnge continued up to the ddition of 3 equivlents of Eu(OTf) 3.

On the other hnd, in the complextion of DPA G4 with L(OTf) 3, the spectrum chnged up to the ddition of equivlents of L(OTf) 3 (SI-Figure ). The lrge metl size of L(OTf) 3 prevents the complextion due to the crowed interior of the dendrimer. S3

The mrked peks () re ttriuted to the four protons of the phenl group in the DPA G. In the spectrum of DPA G, singlet pek ttriuted to the four proton of the phenl ring ws shifted to lower mgnetic field dding of SnCl due to the coordintion to the imine nitrogens. The shift ws lrge up to equivlents ddition of SnCl, nd the shift ecme smller with the further ddition of SnCl. This spectrl chnge supports tht the complextion of SnCl first occurs t the imines in DPA G. Assemling structure of SnCl nm nm. nm SI-Figure 9.

In genrl, the orgnic smples re inverted on RuO4 efore the TEM mesurement in order to enhnce the contrst of the imge, ut metl toms such s Sn pper on the TEM imge without or fter ver short time of the inversion. Therefore, the ssemling structure of SnCl in the dendrimer is confirmed the TEM mesurement of the complex. The DPA G4 molecule ws confirmed TEM to hve round shpe with.3 nm dimeter (Ref. ).
