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 compound 1 is the first MOF example to exhibit superprotonic conductivity of 10-2 S cm-1 at ambient temperature.

Caveat: Historical priority claim was not independently checked against external literature; extracted as the authors' claim.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

Adipamide is converted into adipic acid under the hydrothermal synthesis conditions, and adipic acid is present in compound 1.

Caveat: Supported by SCXRD interpretation and IR evidence; raw CIF was not supplied in the assignment.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

The extended hydrogen-bonded network among adipic acid, ammonium ions, water molecules and oxalate ions, together with additional protons, makes compound 1 a potentially high proton-conducting material.

Caveat: The structure-property relation is interpretive, but it is directly tied to reported short contacts and conductivity.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

The authors propose a Grotthuss-like contribution but argue that the high activation energy suggests additional vehicle/direct-diffusion processes involving water or ammonia molecules.

Caveat: Mechanistic assignment is inferred from activation energy and structural features rather than directly resolved proton dynamics.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Water molecules play an important role in creating proton-conducting pathways, as partial dehydration to the dihydrate greatly lowers proton conductivity.

Caveat: The 70% RH dihydrate measurement temperature is not explicitly stated in the extracted text.
