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

The active chemiresistors are pristine conductive 2D MOFs rather than CNT composites or guest-loaded frameworks.

Caveat: Framework synthesis recipes are cited to earlier papers and not reproduced in this paper.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

A three-MOF chemiresistor array can discriminate five VOC functional-group classes with 92% jack-knifed LDA accuracy.

Caveat: Classification uses the reported 64-trial jack-knifed matrix; raw sensing data are not provided as a spreadsheet.

CaveatSupport assessment: Medium

Device morphology, contact resistance, and overall device resistance were tested and judged not to dominate VOC sensing response.

Caveat: The exact statistical spread for resistance-dependence is not tabulated.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

The metal centre identity, especially Ni versus Cu, has the largest impact on sensing response sign and magnitude.

Caveat: Mechanistic interpretation is preliminary; SI states detailed mechanism is premature.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

The sensing behaviour is consistent with charge transfer as a major mechanism, with hydrogen bonding also likely contributing for amines and ligand-dependent responses.

Caveat: Authors explicitly frame the mechanism as a preliminary discussion and state that multiple competing mechanisms operate.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Linear I-V curves show ohmic contacts for the MOF chemiresistor devices, arguing against Schottky barrier modulation as the origin of sensing response.

Caveat: I-V fit values were read from a rendered SI figure.
