Author interpretations and caveats

Paraphrased for this database from the authors’ stated interpretations — never quoted verbatim — and kept separate from reported measurements.

CaveatSupport assessment: Medium

The authors suggest the overall framework is negatively charged and proton compensated, but this is an assumption based on XPS ratios and absence of cation species in EDX.

Caveat: The charge-compensating proton is not directly observed; the C 1s ratio differs between the main text and SI.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

GIWAXS and synchrotron XRD show that Cu3(C6O6)2 thin films have preferred edge-on orientation on SiO2/Si.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

The CVD-synthesised Cu3(C6O6)2 thin film adopts a slipped-parallel stacked structure rather than the previously reported AAA'A' or partially eclipsed structures.

Caveat: EXAFS 1-4 A fit is reported as not perfect because of high-k data limitations.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

The high measured conductivity is consistent with DFT showing a very small AFM band gap and metallic states close in energy at room-temperature conditions.

Caveat: The connection between measured room-temperature transport and competing computed magnetic states is interpretive.

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: High

The face-to-face inner tube CVD geometry is necessary for crystalline long-range ordered Cu3(C6O6)2 thin films under the reported conditions; without it, conventional CVD gave amorphous films.

Caveat: Control conditions were varied rather than exhaustively tabulated.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Thin-film conductivity is thermally activated between 145 and 235 K and follows a 3D variable-range-hopping relation between 75 and 175 K, attributed to charge hopping between domains.

Caveat: No Mott T0 value was reported.
