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

Device-a made from compound 1 is presented as the better charge-transport device compared with Device-b from compound 2.

Caveat: No cycling, device-to-device statistics or long-term stability data are reported.

5 · Electrical characterization · Table 1 · Linked to 5 structured results

CaveatSupport assessment: High

The paper does not report porosity, gas sorption, thermoelectric coefficients, Seebeck coefficient, thermal conductivity or power factor.

Caveat: Negative extraction claim based on reading the assigned main article, ESI and CIF text.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

Compounds 1 and 2 are isotypical one-dimensional coordination polymers that assemble into 3D supramolecular networks through hydrogen bonding and C-H...pi interactions.

Caveat: The materials are described as 1D CPs/MOF-like coordination polymers; no porosity measurements are reported.

1 · Abstract · Linked to 7 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

The Cd compound has higher conductivity, mobility and diffusion length than the Zn compound; the authors link this to larger Cd2+ ionic radius and shorter hydrogen-bonding separation.

Caveat: Causal assignment is the authors' interpretation; conductivity is low and device-film morphology is not quantitatively characterised.

2 · Introduction · Linked to 9 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

The Al/compound/ITO devices show Schottky barrier diode behaviour; forward-bias transport is described as ohmic at low voltage followed by SCLC with discrete and exponential trap regimes.

Caveat: Mechanistic interpretation is based on slope analysis of I-V plots; raw fitting data are not provided.
