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

The paper reports the first demonstration of a bismuth-based coordination polymer for chemiresistive sensing.

Caveat: Claim is authors' best-knowledge statement.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

A single Bi(HHTP) conductive network differentiates VOCs by response direction: acetone/MeOH increase normalised conductance, EtOH/iPrOH decrease it.

Caveat: Concentration ranges differ among VOCs; slopes read from plotted figure axes.

CaveatSupport assessment: High

Current sensing limitations include limited control over spatial orientation and film thickness on device surfaces.

Caveat: Forward-looking limitation from conclusions.

60315 · Conclusions

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Bi(HHTP) has alpha and beta structures associated with dehydration/hydration of pores; water changes bismuth coordination and unit-cell parameters.

Caveat: Exact phase volume ratio varies with drying; beta prevalence inferred from elemental analysis.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

EtOH exposure I-V curves remain Ohmic after saturation, arguing against Schottky barrier modulation for VOC sensing.

Caveat: Only explicitly demonstrated for EtOH exposure.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Opposite responses to NO and NH3 are consistent with p-type semiconducting behaviour.

Caveat: Chemiresistive response also includes host-guest and hydrogen-bonding contributions.
