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

The work demonstrates pristine conductive MOF electromagnetic-wave absorbers without pyrolysis or guest-doping post-treatment.

Caveat: The measured absorber rings are MOF/paraffin composites for EMW testing, but the active MOF framework is pristine rather than carbonised or guest-loaded.

main p.2 · Introduction · Linked to 4 structured results

CaveatSupport assessment: High

Increasing filler content above the optimum reduces EMW performance because excessive conductivity induces a skin effect and worsens impedance matching.

Caveat: Higher-loading RL values are primarily from figure annotations in the SI.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

The 1D linear topology and ribbon-like morphology of CuTBTT-1D improve charge transport, conductivity and EMW absorption relative to CuTBTT-2D.

Caveat: Conductivity values for CuTBTT-2D were estimated from Figure S18 rather than reported in text.

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Introducing TBTT polarised groups creates charge redistribution around Cu and S and abundant polarisation sites in both CuTBTT frameworks.

Caveat: The causal statement combines experimental figures and DFT charge-density maps; atom-resolved charge-transfer tables are computational.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

CuTBTT-1D EMW absorption is dominated by dielectric loss, with polarisation relaxation stronger than conduction loss after 4 GHz.

Caveat: Loss-partition values are mainly presented graphically; the extracted dominance statement is qualitative.
