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

Composite Cu3(HFcHBC)2 electrodes show promising aqueous supercapacitor performance, with 163.3 F g-1 and 97.31% retention after 5000 cycles.

Caveat: Electrochemical data are for a composite electrode with conductive carbon and binder, not a pristine electronic transport sample.

7 · Electrochemistry · Figure S31 · Linked to 4 structured results

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

Cu3(HFcHBC)2 is assigned as a crystalline porous 2D c-MOF with chemical stability in several common solvents.

Caveat: Chemical stability is inferred from PXRD after 2 d solvent immersion; no long-duration stability extraction beyond that was reported.

4 · Results and Discussion · Figures S14-S16 · Linked to 5 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Grain boundaries are identified as the major hindrance for charge transport in polycrystalline Cu3(HFcHBC)2 films.

Caveat: Inference is based on comparison between single-crystal and film transport rather than direct grain-boundary-resolved transport.

6 · Charge transport properties · Figure S29 · Linked to 4 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

The wavy AA-eclipsed 2D honeycomb structure promotes both in-plane and out-of-plane pi conjugation and electronic coupling, supporting efficient charge transport.

Caveat: Transport enhancement is supported by DFT and structural assignment; exact microscopic scattering mechanism remains unresolved.

5 · Electronic band structure · Figure 3 · Linked to 6 structured results

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Fluorination lowers the FcHBC core LUMO and increases catechol acidity, promoting more reversible Cu-ligand coordination and high crystallinity.

Caveat: The coordination-reversibility argument is mechanistic interpretation from electronic structure and comparison to nonfluorinated cHBC, not a direct kinetic measurement.

4 · Results and Discussion · Figure 1a · Linked to 4 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Single-crystal Cu3(HFcHBC)2 displays intrinsic metallic or metallic-like transport, whereas the polycrystalline film appears semiconducting because intergrain hopping masks the intrinsic behaviour.

Caveat: The authors note the weakly thermally assisted single-crystal conductivity could arise from stacking faults, impurity scattering or electron-phonon coupling, and they cannot distinguish these mechanisms.
