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

CuNi-6 achieves the widest reported EAB of 7.12 GHz at 1.78 mm, covering the entire Ku band and part of the X band.

Caveat: EMWA test uses 50 wt% MOF in paraffin, not a neat dense MOF device.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: Medium

CST radar cross-section simulation indicates CuZn-1 coating can reduce electromagnetic scattering, with a reported RCS reduction of 45.75 dB m2.

Caveat: RCS result is simulation-only; coating fabrication details for the simulated model are not provided as a synthesis route.

CaveatSupport assessment: High

The CuZn ratio labels are internally inconsistent between the SI prose and Table S3; sample-specific reagent masses were therefore extracted directly from Table S3.

Caveat: Main text order and Table S3 masses imply a different CuZn-1/CuZn-2 ratio assignment than one sentence in the SI prose.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

XRD, FTIR, and XPS collectively support successful formation of CuM-HHTP bimetallic conductive MOF materials without detectable impurity phases.

Caveat: Several XPS spin-orbit assignments are chemically unusual as written, but the reported binding energies were preserved.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

EAB follows the order CuNi-6 > CuCo-5 > CuZn-2 > CuMn-4 and is linked to metal-ion electron donation/acceptance capability and dipolar polarization.

Caveat: Mechanistic interpretation is based on correlated dielectric/EMWA measurements rather than direct charge-transfer quantification.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Conductive loss arises from orbital overlap between metal ions and pi-conjugated HHTP ligands, while polarization loss distinguishes the EMWA performance among samples.

Caveat: Four-probe conductivities are close for several samples; authors argue polarization loss differentiates performance.
