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

Compound 1 is a linear 1D polymer yet does not show the magnetic susceptibility maximum expected for previously known linear Ru2X chain compounds, implying weak antiferromagnetic interactions.

Caveat: Magnetic fit uses a model including zero-field splitting and paramagnetic impurity.

p006 · Magnetic properties · Linked to 2 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

The smaller Ru-X-Ru angle in the iodide derivative is invoked to explain its larger activation energy despite the shorter inter-dimer distance.

Caveat: Mechanistic interpretation from the authors rather than a directly measured band structure.

p005 · Electrical conductivity measurements · Linked to 2 structured results

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: High

Microwave activation gives single-phase microcrystalline powders, while solvothermal synthesis facilitates higher-quality single crystals for these insoluble products using ethanol or methanol solvents.

p002 · Synthetic aspects

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Activation energies from Arrhenius plots increase in the order Cl < Br < I, approximately 1.4, 1.6 and 1.8 eV.

Caveat: Reported as approximate average values; individual crystal values were not tabulated.

p004 · Electrical conductivity measurements · Fig. 4 inset · Linked to 3 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Compounds 7, 1 and 4 are semiconductors over 300-400 K, with 400 K conductivity increasing in the order Cl < Br < I.

Caveat: Conductivity values are ranges/averages across four or five crystals; room-temperature resistance exceeded the detection limit.
