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

Cu2(OHPTP) is presented as the first rhombic single-crystalline 2D conjugated MOF.

Caveat: First-example claim not independently verified beyond the paper's literature comparison.

2 · Introduction · Linked to 5 structured results

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: Medium

THz spectroscopy indicates a charge-carrier mobility of 10 cm2 V-1 s-1, claimed as a record among semiquinoid 2D c-MOFs.

Caveat: Mobility is Drude-Smith-model-derived and strongly affected by backscattering parameter assumptions.

9 · Conclusion · Linked to 3 structured results

CaveatSupport assessment: Medium

The electrical response depends on measurement environment; vacuum THz measurements produced substantially higher sigma_DC than ambient THz or argon contact measurements, probably because environment alters pore doping.

Caveat: The paper explicitly states this will be studied in future work; exact vacuum sigma_DC values are figure-axis estimates here.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

Cu2(OHPTP) is a p-type semiconductor with an indirect band gap around 0.5 eV.

Caveat: UPS showed no clear valence-band maximum; p-type assignment is based on states close to EF and conductivity/THz behaviour.

2 · Abstract · Linked to 4 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Layer stacking and proximity effects enhance out-of-plane band dispersion and dominate the overall transport properties.

Caveat: Based primarily on DFT comparison of monolayer and layered bulk models.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Bulk pellet and temperature-dependent THz data support thermally activated hopping-type charge transport between crystals in polycrystalline Cu2(OHPTP).

Caveat: Mechanism is for polycrystalline samples; authors expect larger crystals to have much higher mobility.
