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 authors state that the calculated band structures indicate direct band-gap materials without flat bands, suggesting doping could increase conductivity for applications.

Caveat: Band-structure figure captions are present in the supplied SI text; later SI pages beyond page 25 were not visually attached, so this remains a main-text-supported interpretation.

7123 · III.F · Figs. S24-S29 cited · Linked to 3 structured results

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: Medium

The computed optical properties support possible use in optoelectronic devices such as solar cells, LEDs, field-effect transistors and OLEDs.

Caveat: Application relevance is proposed from calculations; no device measurements are reported.

7124 · IV · Linked to 3 structured results

CaveatSupport assessment: High

The paper is a computational study and does not report a first-hand synthesis route, device fabrication, electrical transport experiment, or thermoelectric measurement.

Caveat: The introduction cites experimental syntheses from other papers, but the v2 computational-paper rule excludes synthesis_routes here.

7112 · I-II

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Bulk modulus decreases as the linker is extended from UiO-66 to UiO-67 to UiO-68.

Caveat: Computed perfect hydroxylated crystals; defects and partial occupancy were not modelled.

7113 · III.B · Table 1 · Linked to 3 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Large negative formation enthalpies indicate high stability and suggest the unmade Ti and Hf analogues are promising fabrication targets.

Caveat: Thermodynamic feasibility is computational; actual synthesis conditions are not provided.

7116 · III.C.i · Table 2 · Linked to 3 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

M-O bonds are mainly ionic with some covalency, while C-O, C-H and C-C bonds in the organic linkers are mainly covalent.

Caveat: SI Table S3 was read; it reports HC/MEC/BOP for M-UiO-66 and M-UiO-68, while UiO-67 BOP/charge values were not calculated.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

The corrected HOCO-LUCO gap spans about 2.9-4.1 eV and decreases with linker extension, providing a route to tune optical/electronic properties.

Caveat: Gaps are DFT values corrected by a scissor operation; most analogues lack experimental gap data.
