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 SPE immunosensor was practically applicable to spiked drinking-water, pork and chicken samples, with recoveries broadly near the added ERY concentrations and similar HPLC comparison results.

Caveat: Real-sample evidence is from spiked samples; value_numeric in the detailed SI rows records found concentration while recovery/RSD or HPLC comparator values are retained in value_raw/uncertainty_raw.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

The CuxFe3-x(HHTP)2-based portable SPE immunosensor detects ERY over 1.0 fg mL-1 to 1.0 ng mL-1 with an ultralow LOD of 0.69 fg mL-1.

Caveat: Application result is for ERY sensing rather than intrinsic transport; raw calibration data are not available.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

The bimetallic CuxFe3-x(HHTP)2 electrode has enhanced electrochemical activity relative to monometallic Cu3(HHTP)2 and Fe3(HHTP)2 controls.

Caveat: Monometallic control Rct values are stated in the main text; preparation recipes for the monometallic controls are not reported.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

High porosity and surface area of CuxFe3-x(HHTP)2 provide abundant active sites for antibody immobilisation, supporting sensitive ERY detection.

Caveat: Surface-area and sensing data support the association, but antibody loading amount is not directly reported in the main text.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Mixed Cu+/Cu2+ and Fe2+/Fe3+ redox states are proposed to promote electron transfer, improving electrochemical conductivity and biosensing performance.

Caveat: Mechanistic inference from XPS valence assignments and electrochemical response; no direct bulk electrical conductivity value is reported.
