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

GTUB3 is presented as the first electrically conductive zinc-phosphonate MOF and a rare electrically conductive 3D MOF.

Caveat: Conductivity is measured on random orientations; impedance value is a lower-limit estimate.

5 · 3. Conclusions · Linked to 3 structured results

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: Medium

GTUB3 combines electrical conductivity with strong photoluminescence and is proposed for optoelectronic and supercapacitor electrode applications.

Caveat: Application performance in devices or electrochemical cells was not directly measured in this paper.

1,5 · Abstract; 3. Conclusions · Linked to 4 structured results

CaveatSupport assessment: High

Single-crystal refinement quality is limited by very thin, weakly diffracting crystals, causing low high-angle completeness and high R/wR values.

Caveat: The SI explains the CHECKCIF alerts and reports the best available crystal.

S3 · General comments on the CHECKCIF reports · Linked to 3 structured results

CaveatSupport assessment: High

The impedance-derived 0.03 S m-1 conductivity is treated as a lower limit because the contact surface area is less than the total crystal surface area.

Caveat: Authors explicitly describe the value as a lower-limit estimate.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

DRS/Tauc and PL data support a low-bandgap semiconductive GTUB3 material, with SI assigning better agreement to an indirect allowed transition model.

Caveat: Bandgap assignment depends on Tauc-model choice because crystal thickness was unknown.

S8 · 5. Band Gap Measurement · Linked to 3 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

High conductivity is attributed to a possible combination of electron hopping between redox-active porphyrin units, extended conjugation, redox-active p-H8TPPA ligands, and square-planar Cu(II) d9 electrons.

Caveat: Authors state electronic-structure calculations were not performed because of the large unit cell, so mechanism remains inferential.
