The two tricopper complexes are molecular models for spin exchange interactions in conductive MOFs Cu3HOTP2 and Cu3HITP2.
Caveat: Parent frameworks are not newly synthesised or measured in this paper.
p001 / article p.10475 · Abstract
The paper does not report first-hand electrical conductivity, thermoelectric, porosity, BET surface area, or gas-sorption data for the complexes or parent MOFs.
Caveat: Conductivity and porosity are discussed only as motivation for the parent 2D conductive MOF class.
p001 / article p.10475 · Introduction
PXRD and elemental analysis support high purity of the molecular complexes and no crystalline impurity assignment to simple Cu compounds or Cu3HXTP2 MOFs.
Caveat: PXRD match is qualitative and affected by preferred orientation and solvent-loss peak shifts.

Complex 1 contains a ligand-centred S = 1/2 radical and Cu2+ spins, giving an S = 1 ground state with weak antiferromagnetic coupling.
Caveat: Magnetisation curve also indicates intermolecular interactions.

Complex 2 has only Cu2+-based S = 1/2 spins and lacks an HITP-based radical, consistent with a closed-shell HITP ligand assignment.
Caveat: Assignment relies on combined magnetometry and frozen-solution EPR.

The targeted [(Me3tacnCu)3(HITP)]3+ species is unstable to disproportionation; the isolated complex is the more oxidised [(Me3tacnCu)3(HITP)]4+ salt.
Caveat: The authors infer instability from isolated product and irreversible reduction behaviour.

The three HOTP redox centres in complex 1 are fully delocalised, giving a Robin-Day class III mixed-valent system.
Caveat: This is molecular electrochemical evidence, not direct MOF transport measurement.
