Author interpretations and caveats

Paraphrased for this database from the authors’ stated interpretations — never quoted verbatim — and kept separate from reported measurements.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

DFT band structures support increasingly localised carriers with larger side groups, especially the limited 0.05 eV band dispersion in Ni3(HATI_iPr)2.

Caveat: Computational result depends on the DFT+U model and refined stacking structures.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Increasing side-group bulkiness widens interlayer spacing and changes the stacking mode from serrated/inclined to highly staggered.

Caveat: Stacking assignments rely on DFT-supported PXRD refinement rather than single-crystal structures.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

The staggered iPr framework has the highest spin density and longest T1 because dislocated stacking spatially weakens interlayer spin coupling.

Caveat: T1 maxima for vPr and nPr are figure-read estimates; the iPr maximum is reported approximately in the text.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Bulk pellet conductivity decreases by about six orders of magnitude as side groups become bulkier and interlayer coupling is weakened.

Caveat: Electrical measurements were made on pressed powder pellets; out-of-plane transport and pellet microstructure can influence absolute conductivity.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Carrier transport is proposed to be dominated by spinless polaron pairs or bipolarons rather than electronic spin.

Caveat: Mechanistic claim is inferred from ESR intensity, susceptibility trends and conductivity correlations, not from direct identification of bipolarons in this extraction.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

THz photoconductivity varies only by about a factor of two, suggesting substitution mainly suppresses out-of-plane bulk transport while barely affecting in-plane short-range conductivity.

Caveat: Normalised photoconductivity values are figure-read estimates; interpretation assumes similar photocarrier generation quantum yield.
