Author interpretations and caveats

Paraphrased for this database from the authors’ stated interpretations — never quoted verbatim — and kept separate from reported measurements.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

Fe-HHTP shows stronger redox activity and higher capacitance than Cu-HHTP and Ni-HHTP analogues.

Caveat: Electrochemical measurements use composite electrodes containing carbon black and PTFE binder.

main p.5 · Results and Discussion · Figure 6; Table S2 · Linked to 5 structured results

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

Fe-HHTP is a 2D electrically conductive HHTP MOF rather than a previously reported Fe-based 3D MOF.

main p.2 · Results and Discussion · Figure 2 · Linked to 4 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Axial DMF coordination at octahedral Fe nodes enlarges interlayer spacing and shapes the two-layer Fe-HHTP structure.

main p.2 · Results and Discussion · Figure 2c; Figure S8 · Linked to 3 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Fe-HHTP contains mixed-valent Fe(II)/Fe(III), with Fe(II) dominant, enabling redox activity.

Caveat: EPR high-spin Fe(III) signal is weak and overlapping contributions cannot be ruled out.

main p.4 · Results and Discussion · Figure 5 · Linked to 4 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

The expanded stacking distance and higher BET surface area improve accessibility to interior pores of Fe-HHTP.

Caveat: The link between ECSA and pore accessibility is an interpretation from capacitance/ECSA trends rather than direct ion-transport quantification.

main p.5 · Results and Discussion · Figure 6; Table S2 · Linked to 4 structured results

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: High

Fe-HHTP synthesis is highly sensitive to dissolved oxygen, primarily because redox-active Fe is oxygen-sensitive during synthesis.

Caveat: Based on PXRD optimisation experiments in Figures S2, S6 and S7; no numeric crystallinity index extracted.

main p.2 · Results and Discussion · Figures S2, S6, S7

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Fe-HHTP behaves as a semiconducting material with thermally activated conduction.

Caveat: Temperature-dependent conductivity endpoints from Figure S11 are visual estimates; activation energy and band gap are text-reported.
