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

Sorption-derived pore sizes are much smaller than the approximately 4 nm model pores, likely because residual coordinating DMF and water partially block the pores.

Caveat: Residual solvent attribution is supported by elemental analysis, IR and TGA but not directly quantified by pore occupancy.

4 · Results and Discussion · Figure S17-S18 · Linked to 3 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

The PDI-based linker strongly enhances conductivity in MOF-74 structures relative to prototype MOF-74 materials.

Caveat: Two-point pellet measurements may be limited by grain-to-grain resistance and were conducted without applied pressure.

4 · Results and Discussion · Figure 4 · Linked to 3 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

Absorbing and emitting electronic states of the MOFs are mainly located on the PDI unit.

Caveat: Based on similarity between MOF and linker emission bands.

5 · Results and Discussion · Figure 5 · Linked to 3 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

The first and second reduction peaks are assigned to the PDI radical anion and dianion states of the integrated PDI-based ligands.

Caveat: Electrode preparation differs slightly between main text and SI descriptions.

6 · Results and Discussion · Figure 6 · Linked to 6 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Conductivity enhancement is attributed to short adjacent PDI-core distances enabling through-space pi-pi charge transfer, in addition to through-bond hopping through the metal-oxo backbone.

Caveat: Mechanistic interpretation is inferred by the authors rather than directly proven by transport anisotropy or carrier measurements.
