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

Pristine MOF 1 functions as a selective ratiometric fluorescent Al3+ sensor in acetonitrile with an LOD of 0.139 uM.

Caveat: Sensing was performed in acetonitrile rather than water because the MOF dispersed better in acetonitrile.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

MOF 1 detects TNP with strong fluorescence quenching, 97.8% quenching efficiency and an LOD of 0.154 uM.

Caveat: The nitroaromatic tests are suspension sensing measurements, not transport measurements.

CaveatSupport assessment: High

Composition is reported inconsistently between the article elemental-analysis formula and the CIF solvent-inclusive formula; the CIF also reports solvent-masked water.

Caveat: Use the formula appropriate to the downstream query: dry framework formula for article synthesis, solvent-inclusive formula for crystallographic cell contents.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

Compound 1 is assigned as a 3D Zn(II)-MOF/coordination polymer with distorted octahedral ZnO4N2 nodes linked by tdc2- and pdiq.

Caveat: CIF includes solvent-masked lattice water not included in the simplified formula used in the article title/abstract.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

The pristine MOF shows phase purity and chemical/thermal robustness, with PXRD stability across pH 2-12 and thermal stability to about 320 deg C.

Caveat: PXRD stability is qualitative from pattern comparison; no quantitative phase fraction is reported.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Photo-irradiation increases TFD 1 conductivity and effective mobility, while reducing barrier height and series resistance.

Caveat: Values are extracted from an ITO/MOF/Al junction device and should not be treated as intrinsic single-crystal or pellet conductivity.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

The forward-bias transport is interpreted as ohmic in region I and trap-free SCLC in region II.

Caveat: Slopes are described approximately in text and not tabulated as fitted numerical values.
