1. General Information

The metal precursor Iron(II) acetate (>99.99 trace analysis) was obtained from Sigma-Aldrich. All reagents were used directly without further purification. Solvents were used directly without purification. Unless otherwise mentioned, all the reactions were performed in autoclaves.

NMR-spectra were recorded on Bruker AV 300 and 400 spectrometers. Chemicals shifts (δ) are reported in ppm downfield of tetramethylsilane. The residual solvent signals were used as references for 1H and 13C NMR spectra (CDCl3: δH = 7.26 ppm, δC = 77.12 ppm; DMSO-d6: δH = 2.50 ppm, δC = 39.52 ppm). 19F NMR spectra are not calibrated by an internal reference. Coupling constants (J) are quoted in Hz. Mass spectra were recorded on an AMD 402/3 or a HP 5973 mass selective detector.

XRD powder pattern were recorded either on a Panalytical X'Pert diffractometer equipped with a Xcelerator detector, automatic divergence slits and Cu Kα radiation (40 kV, 40 mA). Cu β-radiation was excluded by using nickel filter foil. The samples were mounted on silicon zero background holders. Peak positions and profile were fitted with Pseudo-Voigt function using the the Panalytical HighScore Plus software package Phase identification was done by using the PDF-2 database of the International Center of Diffraction Data (ICDD).

X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) were collected using an ESCALAB220xi spectrometer equipped with a monochromatized Al Kα X-ray radiation source (hν = 1486.6 eV). Electron binding energies were calibrated on C-C contribution at 284.8 eV in C1s region. The XPS peaks were analyzed using a Shirley-type background and a nonlinear least square fitting of the experimental data based on a mixed Gaussian/Lorentzian peak shape. Peak areas were divided by a sensitivity factor obtained from the element specific Scofield factor and the transmission function of the spectrometer

The TEM measurements were performed at 200kV with an aberration-corrected JEM-ARM200F (JEOL, Corrector: CEOS). The microscope is equipped with a JED-2300 (JEOL) energy-dispersive x-ray-spectrometer (EDXS) and an Enfinium 977 ER (Gatan) electron energy loss spectrometer (EELS) with an annular dark field (ADF) detector placed at the spectrometer entrance for chemical analysis and spectrum imaging.

The aberration corrected STEM imaging (High-Angle Annular Dark Field (HAADF) and Annular Bright Field (ABF)) were performed under the following conditions. HAADF and ABF both were done with a spot size of approximately 0.13nm. Preparation of the TEM sample: The sample was deposed without any pretreatment on a holey carbon supported Cu-grid (mesh 300) and transferred to the microscope.

The Raman spectra were collected on a Renishaw inVia Raman microscope using a 633 nm laser with a laser power between 0.081 and 0.161 mW. The samples were mounted onto object slides and an objective with a magnification of 50x was applied. The band intensities were evaluated manually by adjusting the baseline carefully to the region between 2200 and 600 cm-1.

No attempts were made for the optimization of substrate synthesis.

Scheme S1: General procedure for the synthesis of Fe-based heterogeneous catalysts.

In a 100 mL round bottomed flask equipped with magnetic stir bar, 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde (643 mg, 6.00 mmol, 2.00 equiv.) was added to the suspension of 1,4-phenelenediamine (324 mg, 3.00 mmol, 1.00 equiv.) in toluene (15 mL). The resulting suspension was stirred for 6 h at rt. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to obtain yellow ligand L4. The obtained ligand L4 was directly used for next step. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ (ppm): 8.72 (ddd, J = 4.9, 1.7, 0.9 Hz, 2H), 8.66 (s, 2H), 8.21 (dt, J = 8.0, 1.1 Hz, 2H), 7.79 – 7.85 (m, 2H), 7.35 – 7.39 (m, 2H), 7.37 (s, 4H); 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3): δ (ppm): 160.3, 154.7, 149.9, 149.7, 136.8, 125.3, 122.3, 122.1; HR-MS (ESI): m/z calculated for [C18H15N4]+ ([M+H]+): 287.1291, found: 287.1296. The obtained spectroscopic data were in agreement with the reported data for this compound [ref.1].

Next, the obtained ligand L4 (ca. 3.00 mmol) was dissolved in abs. ethanol (25 mL) in a 100 mL round bottomed flask equipped with a reflux condenser and magnetic stir bar. The resulting suspension was stirred at 70 °C for 5 min for complete dissolution of the ligand and then Fe(OAc)2 (117 mg, 0.670 mmol) was added to the solution. After 1 h stirring at 70 °C, carbon powder: VULCAN® XC72R (925 mg) was added to the reaction mixture and continued stirring for another 4 h at same temperature. After cooling the reaction mixture to rt, ethanol was removed slowly under reduced pressure. The obtained black solids was dried for 3 h at 60 °C under vacuum. The dried sample was transferred into a ceramic crucible and then placed in an oven. The oven was evacuated to ca. 5 mbar and then flushed with argon. Then the oven was heated to temperature 800 °C with a temperature gradient 25 °C/min and the final temperature was held for 2 h under argon atmosphere. After that the oven was cooled down to rt. During the whole process, argon was purged through the oven constantly. The as-prepared catalyst (designated as Fe(1)/L4(4.5)@C-800) was stored in a screw capped vial without any special protection from air at room temperature.

Additionally, several Fe-based materials with different ligands (L1, L2 and L3) using carbon powder: VULCAN® XC72R as support and ligand L4 using various supports (Al2O3(), SiO2, TiO2 and CeO2) were prepared under the similar conditions. Furthermore, a series of Fe-based materials using ligand L4 and carbon powder: VULCAN® XC72R as support was prepared at various temperature (500-900 °C). Moreover, a series of Fe-based materials with different metal-to-ligand ratio with ligand L4 using carbon powder: VULCAN® XC72R as support were prepared.

2.2 Thermogravimetry (TG) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) Measurement:

Thermogravimetry (TG) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) curves obtained during the heat treatment of dried Fe(OAc)2-L4 complex impregnated on VULCAN® XC72R under nitrogen atmosphere are illustrated in Figure S1. As noticed in Figure S1, rapid mass loss was noticed after 260 °C (rest mass: 92%) till 500 °C (rest mass: 64 wt%). However, the mass loss was continued at very slow rate increasing the temperature upto 1000 °C. At 800 °C, the rest mass of the material was 61 wt%.

Figure S10. STEM-ADF (annular dark field) image (a) from the sample area used for elemental mapping of catalyst Fe(1)/L4(4.5)@C-800 in the main text marked with areas from which the electron energy loss spectra (EELS) (b,c) are extracted. The EELS data has been background subtracted, deconvolved and scaled to matching maximum intensities of the carbon edge. Area 1 and 3 differ slightly in carbon edge structure and nitrogen content with area 1 probably stemming from the ligand and area 3 from the vulcan support. Area 2 shows a Fe particle (probably carbide). The STEM-HAADF and -ABF pairs (d,e,f) of the general area used for spectrum imaging show the typical morphology of the catalyst (d), while the higher magnification shows the structural differences between the carbon phase probably stemming from the ligand and the Vulcan support, with the high resolution pair (f) showing the presence of a heavier type of element in the extra carbon phase which is not visible in the ABF image due to contrast mechanisms.

The EELS data is background subtracted, deconvolved and scaled to matching intensities in front of the Fe-L edge. Area 1 contains small amounts of nitrogen, whereas Area 2 contains no nitrogen, no oxygen and no Fe. Area 3 shows an iron containing particle, iron carbide is probable considering the form of the carbon fine structure. However no firm statement can be made due to coverage with graphitic carbon. The STEM-ADF image (e) overlaid with the elemental map data generated from the EELS data show the distribution of nitrogen compared to the different carbon structure in the catalyst. Additionally the carbon nanotube structure is visible in in the STEM-HAADF (annular dark field) and STEM-ABF (annular bright field) images (f), with (g) showing a higher magnified image pair of the carbon covered Fe containing particle attached to the carbon tube.

4.4.2 Analytical STEM Data of Catalyst Fe(1)/L4(1.5)@C-800:

Figure S12. STEM-ADF image (a) of the sample (Fe(1)/L4(1.5)@C-800) marked with the areas used for EELS (b, c) and EDXS (d). Area 1 shows a faint amount of nitrogen and iron in the EELS data within a carbon matrix, whereas area 2 includes a small Fe containing particle. The EELS data has been subtracted with a background fit in front of the C-K edge, deconvolved and scaled to matching integrated C-K edge intensities. The elemental maps calculated from the EELS data and the false colour image overlaid on the STEM-ADF image (e) show the distribution of the nitrogen containing carbon phase while the Fe containing particle is represented by a bright blue pixel.The STEM-HAADF and corresponding STEM-ABF images (f) show the general area used for the spectrum imaging with only one Fe containing particles present in the imaged area. The higher magnified detail (g) is of the region containg the nitrogen containing carbon phase where small agglomerations of an element heavier than C are present. Another pair of STEM-HAADF and -ABF images (h) shows a different region of the specimen containing lots of iron carbide particles of different sizes and (i) showing high resolution images of a iron carbide particle surrounded by few layers of graphene.

Figure S13. STEM-ADF image (a) of the sample (Fe(1)/L4(1.5)@C-500) marked with the areas used for EELS (b, c) and EDXS (d). Area 1 shows a certain content of nitrogen and iron in the EELS data lacking in area 2, leading to the assumption, that area 1 represents a ligand based carbon structure. Also, this carbon structure shows no oxygen signal distinguishable from the background. The EELS data has been subtracted with a background fit in front of the C-K edge, deconvolved and scaled to matching integrated C-K edge intensities. The elemental maps calculated from the EELS data and the false colour image overlaid on the STEM-ADF image (e) shows the distribution of the ligand based carbon phase.The STEM-HAADF and corresponding STEM-ABF images (f) show the general area used for the spectrum imaging with only one Fe containing particles present in the imaged area.

Figure S14. STEM-ADF (annular dark field) image (a) from the sample (Fe(1)/L4(4.5)@C-800) after 7th run marked with the areas from where the EELS data (b,c) has been extracted. Area 1 and 3 show a small amount of nitrogen, whereas area 2 the nitrogen is not discernible from the background.In general, the distribution is comparable to the fresh sample albeit some minor modifications in the morphology of the nitrogen containing carbon phase. EELS data has been background subtracted, deconvolved and scaled to matching integrated intensities of the C-K edge. STEM-ADF image (d) overlaid with EELS elemental maps of (Fe(1)/L4(4.5)@C-800) after 7th run showing the distribution of N, O and Fe on the carbon support. STEM-HAADF and -ABF pair (e) showing the surrounding area of the sample position used for spectrum imaging. Seldom Si and Fe containing structures similar to phyllosilicates could be found as shown in STEM-HAADF and -ABF image pairs (f,g) and STEM-ADF image (h) with corresponding EDXS data. These structure are not present in fresh samples. The source of the Si is unknown, the general Si content of the sample is very low (Si = 0.07% by elemental analysis).

XZR1R2

XHZHR1R2

Fe(1)/L4(4.5)@C-800 (10-15 mol% Fe)

iPrOH/H2O or MeOH/H2O (3/1)120-150 °C, 56-72 h

H2 (3-5 MPa)X = N, Z = CHX = CH, Z = N

In a 4 or 8 mL glass vial fitted with a septum cap containing a magnetic stirring bar, Fe(1)/L4(4.5)@C-800 and substrate (N-Heteroarene) were added to a solvent mixture of iPrOH/H2O (3/1) or MeOH/H2O (3/1). The reaction vial was then placed into a 300 mL autoclave, flashed with hydrogen five times and finally pressurized to 3-5 MPa. The reaction mixture was stirred at 120-150°C for 56-72 h. After cooling the reaction mixture to room temperature, the autoclave was slowly depressurized. Solvents were removed and the crude reaction mixture was purified by flash column chromatography through silica (eluent: heptane/ethyl acetate or dichloromethane/methanol) to afford pure product. [N.B. The mentioned reaction temperature is the temperature at inner wall of glass vials inside the autoclave]

The yields of product 1 and 23 were calculated based on GC analysis using hexadeane as internal standard.

5.5.5 Photophysical Studies of Photoluminescent Materials (38’, 39’, 38 and 39)

The UV-Visible absorption of 20 µM solutions of compound 38’, 39’, 38 and 39 in dichloromethane was recorded by SPECORD® S600 of Analytik Jena, whereas the emission of same solutions was measured by Cary Eclipse Fluorescence Spectrophotometer (from Varian) equipped with a sample holder respectively. The recorded absorption spectra and normalized emission spectra are depicted in Figure 5.

6 Catalyst Recycling Experiments

The recycling experiments were carried out in 4.0 mmol scale: Quinaldine (2’, 4.0 mmol, 1.00 equiv.), Fe(1)/L4(4.5)@C-800 (1.06 g, 10 mol% Fe) and H2 (4 MPa) in iPrOH/H2O (3/1, 20 mL) at 130 °C for 60 h following general procedure. After cooling the reaction mixture to room temperature, the hydrogen gas was released. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and then hexadecane (internal standard) was added to the reaction mixture for the GC yield analysis. The catalyst was separated via centrifugation and washed with fresh ethanol and ethyl acetate. The separated catalyst was dried for 6 h under vacuum and reused for next run. The results of seven runs of this catalyst have been summarized in Table S7. The supernatant liquids obtained after each run of the catalyst in this reaction were tested for leaching by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) analysis (see Table S8). No significant amount of leaching of iron (Fe) was noticed. However, the recycling experiments upto 5 runs were also performed for shorter reaction time (10 h) and the results are summarized in Table S9, which showed a slight reactivity drop at 3rd run.

7 Comparison Study with State-of-the-Art Catalyst

In a 4 mL glass vial fitted with a septum cap containing a magnetic stirring bar, 5% Ru/C (50 mg, 12 mol%) and quinoline were added to a solvent mixture of iPrOH/H2O (1 mL, 3/1). The reaction vial was then placed into a 300 mL autoclave, flashed with hydrogen five times and finally pressurized to 4 MPa. The reaction mixture was stirred at 130°C for 56 h. After cooling the reaction mixture to room temperature, the autoclave was slowly depressurized. The reaction mixture was analyzed by GC-MS. In figure S16, the GC-MS spectra showed that decahydroquinoline (1a) and N-isopropyl decahydroquinoline (1b) were obtained as major and minor product respectively, due to over reduction of insitu-formed tetrahydroquinoline.
