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: Medium

Cu3(HHTP)2 film devices retain electrical performance after 100 days in atmosphere and under repeated bending on PEN.

Caveat: Resistance values are presented graphically/qualitatively rather than as a full numeric table.

main p.3 · Electrical properties · Figure 3f/S23 · Linked to 2 structured results

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: Medium

The Cu3(HHTP)2 film can be transferred to arbitrary substrates using PMMA transfer without damaging conductivity-relevant film integrity.

Caveat: Transfer quality is supported by device performance and microscopy but not by a before/after quantitative damage metric.

main p.2 · Introduction to results · Figure S1 · Linked to 2 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

The EC-grown Cu3(HHTP)2 film has higher crystalline quality and much higher conductivity than previously reported polycrystalline films prepared by interface methods.

Caveat: Comparison to literature samples is not a same-device, same-lab control.

main p.4 · Summary · Linked to 3 structured results

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: High

Low applied voltage and low HHTP anion concentration favour flat adsorption and along-surface growth, producing continuous 2D Cu3(HHTP)2 film rather than particles.

Caveat: Mechanistic model relies partly on schematic/qualitative SI evidence.

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

The EC strategy extends to Cu3(BTPA)2, Cu2(MTCP), and Cu3(TBTC)2/TPTC-labelled 2D MOF films.

Caveat: The fourth film name is inconsistent across the paper/SI (TPTC versus TBTC), and no conductivity values are reported for the three generality films.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Cu3(HHTP)2 film behaves as a p-type semiconductor with thermally activated Arrhenius-like conductivity.

Caveat: Activation energy is not numerically reported in the supplied text.
