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: Medium

The paper claims NNU-27 shows the best conductivity among reported three-dimensional MOFs at the time of publication, exceeding M2(TTFTB) by about five times.

Caveat: This is a literature-comparison claim made in 2015/2016 and should not be treated as current without a later literature check.

CaveatSupport assessment: High

Although PLATON/SOLV calculates 39.5% solvent-accessible volume, activated NNU-27 shows no gas adsorption because activation by solvent exchange destroys the pristine structure.

Caveat: Gas identity and detailed activation conditions are not reported in the extracted text.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

As-synthesised bulk NNU-27 is assigned as a pure phase because its PXRD pattern matches the simulated pattern from single-crystal data.

Caveat: PXRD support is qualitative from the article; no extracted numerical peak list was reported.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

The electroluminescence of NNU-27 is attributed to electric-field-induced electromers enabled by the unique spatial arrangement of the anthracene-based ligand.

Caveat: The mechanism is proposed from EL/PL behaviour and structure; no direct electromer spectroscopy is extracted.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

The authors attribute NNU-27 conductivity primarily to space-charge transport through a long-range pi-conjugated zigzag ligand pathway along the crystallographic c-axis.

Caveat: Mechanistic claim is inferred from structural arrangement and macroscopic I-V data; no direct mobility or microscopic charge-transport measurement is reported.
