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

Both MOFs detect chromate, dichromate, and permanganate at ppb levels and retain useful quenching after at least three cycles.

Caveat: Detailed Stern-Volmer plots, recyclability plots, and selectivity tests are in the supplied SI.

p007 / article p.1159 · Anion Sensing · Figure S21, Table S6, Figure S22 referenced · Linked to 12 structured results

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

Both MOFs selectively detect Tl3+ and Hg2+ by fluorescence quenching, with compound I more sensitive than compound II and Tl3+ detected more readily than Hg2+.

Caveat: Full Stern-Volmer plots and detection-limit table are in the supplied SI.

p006 / article p.1158 · Metal-Ion Sensing · Figure 6 · Linked to 8 structured results

CaveatSupport assessment: High

No porosity/BET adsorption or electrochemical performance measurements are reported in the supplied main article or Supporting Information text layer.

Caveat: The paper discusses sensing in solution and mentions sorption generally, but no surface area, pore-size, gas adsorption, CV, GCD, EIS, or electrochemical result table was found in the main or SI text layers.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

Compound I is a 3D crystalline Mn MOF in monoclinic P21/c.

Caveat: CIF was not supplied locally, so extraction relies on main-text Table 1 and structure description.

p002 / article p.1154 · Structure of [Mn4(C20H10N2O4S)2(HCOO)4(DEF)2] (I) · Figure 1 · Linked to 4 structured results

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

Compound II is a 2D crystalline Pb MOF in monoclinic P21/n.

Caveat: CIF was not supplied locally, so extraction relies on main-text Table 1 and structure description.

p003 / article p.1155 · Structure of [Pb(C20H10N2O4S)(DMF)] (II) · Figure 2 · Linked to 4 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Compound I shows predominantly antiferromagnetic behaviour, with possible low-temperature ferromagnetic exchanges below 10 K.

Caveat: Low-temperature M-H supporting loops are shown in SI Figure S12.

p004 / article p.1156 · Magnetic Studies · Figure 3; Figures S10-S12 referenced · Linked to 3 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

Raman shifts of the N-S vibration after Tl3+ and Hg2+ adsorption support interaction of soft metal ions with the ligand sulfur/N-S functionality.

Caveat: Mechanistic assignment is inferred from Raman peak shifts; no independent binding-site quantification is provided in the main text.

p006 / article p.1158 · Metal-Ion Sensing · Figure 7 · Linked to 6 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Compounds I and II show semiconducting behaviour, attributed by the authors to thermally generated carriers with variable-range hopping.

Caveat: The main text says conductivity increases with decreasing temperature, which is atypical for the stated semiconducting interpretation; SI Figure S13 shows the detailed temperature-dependent conductivity traces.
