Paraphrased for this database from the authors’ stated interpretations — never quoted verbatim — and kept separate from reported measurements.
Diamondoid/cage-directed interfacial synthesis extends to Cd-S, Zn-S, Fe-Se and Ag-S low-dimensional MOC crystals, suggesting broader chalcogenide dimensionality control.
Caveat: The broader materials are demonstrated mainly by SEM/PXRD morphology/phase evidence, with no electrical transport reported.

Strong adamantyl-adamantyl van der Waals attraction stabilises cis/open-face 1ADCu growth fronts, enabling face-on addition and solid-core nanowire elongation.
Caveat: Mechanistic assignment is DFT-supported, not directly observed during growth.
main p.2-3, article pp.350-351 · Growth mechanism · Fig. 2 · Linked to 2 structured results
The larger diamantyl side groups in 4DICu stabilise a trans hexamer and hinder face-on growth, favouring two-atom-wide Cu-S nanoribbons rather than the 1ADCu three-atom solid-core nanowire.
Caveat: Growth-front pathway is inferred from DFT and final SC-XRD structures.

H2O2 oxidation decreases 1ADCu resistivity by approximately three orders of magnitude by introducing holes in the continuous Cu-S core.
Caveat: The relative-resistivity points are read from impedance-derived powder measurements; 100000 ppm H2O2 disrupts the lattice.

The continuous Cu-S inorganic core of diamondoid-directed MOCs gives band-like electronic properties with strong band dispersion and relatively low effective masses, unlike hopping-dominated MOFs.
Caveat: Effective masses are partly read from a figure; direct transport is impedance-derived rather than DC single-nanowire transport.
