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: Medium

PCA of Zn-HHTP gas responses discriminates CO, NH3 and SO2, supporting possible electronic-nose use.

Caveat: PCA was based on three gases and three samplings; PC1 variance differs between body text and Fig. 4f axis.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: Medium

The authors state the FET sensor is more sensitive than the resistive sensor because of FET amplification.

Caveat: Main text reports a 20 ppm Chem-FET lower detection limit and a 10 ppm experimental chemiresistive lower detection limit, so 'more sensitive' is accepted as the authors' claim rather than independently reconciled.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

Zn-HHTP is assigned as a Zn-based 2D pi-d conjugated conductive MOF/coordination polymer with HHTP linker.

Caveat: No CIF or SI structural files were supplied; structure assignment is based on main-text PXRD, FTIR and EDS.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

The micropore size range of about 0.5-1.2 nm is proposed to assist selective CO adsorption and enhance CO sensing.

Caveat: Selectivity claim is supported by gas-response data but not by direct CO adsorption selectivity measurements in the supplied main text.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

For chemiresistive sensing, electron-donating CO increases resistance of p-type Zn-HHTP by decreasing effective hole-carrier conduction.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

The authors attribute conductivity/charge transfer in Zn-HHTP to electron delocalisation associated with Zn+/Zn2+ coexistence and the pi-d conjugated structure.

Caveat: Mechanistic interpretation is inferred from spectroscopy and prior literature rather than a direct transport mechanism measurement.
