Author interpretations and caveats

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

CaveatSupport assessment: High

The paper forecasts improved electrical conductivity from band-gap lowering and charge delocalisation, but it does not report a direct electrical-conductivity or thermoelectric measurement.

Caveat: Conductive-MOF database users should treat this as band-gap/charge-transfer evidence rather than measured transport evidence.

p001 / article p.32413 · Abstract · Linked to 1 structured result

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

Activated DSNDI-based MOF-74 has a MOF-74 architecture with trigonal R3 symmetry and large hexagonal channels.

Caveat: Precise c parameter and atomic coordinates rely on DFT/CIF because high-angle experimental PXRD peaks were weak.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

TTF intercalation between electron-deficient DSNDI ligands produces donor/acceptor stacks and lowers the optical/electronic band gap by about 1 eV.

Caveat: Direct lattice expansion along c was not experimentally confirmed by PXRD; location of TTF between DSNDI ligands is supported by DFT plus CT/EPR/EDX evidence.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Partial charge transfer from TTF to DSNDI creates TTF radical cations and DSNDI radical anions, indicating electronic communication in the guest-loaded MOF.

Caveat: EPR is qualitative in the extracted data; no transport device measurement is reported.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

DSNDI-based MOF-74 is assigned as an n-type semiconductor because the conduction band is near the Fermi level and arises from electron-deficient DSNDI ligands.

Caveat: n-type assignment is computational/electronic-structure based; no Hall, Seebeck, or device transport measurement is reported.
