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

Compound 1 is claimed to be readily regenerable and solution-processable, including recovery from MeOH/acetone and thin-film fabrication by cast coating/drop casting.

Caveat: Regeneration and thin-film protocols are only partly specified; no thin-film conductivity is reported.

main p.3 · Main text · Figs. S3, S5, S6, S7, S8 · Linked to 4 structured results

CaveatSupport assessment: High

The framework collapses upon solvent removal, so activated dry porosity or activated-framework transport interpretation should be treated cautiously.

Caveat: No gas-sorption measurement is reported in the available text.

CaveatSupport assessment: High

The studied conductive framework is a supramolecular coordination framework alternative to conductive MOFs, not a conventional coordination-bonded conductive MOF.

Caveat: Included in the conductive-MOF evidence database because the paper frames the material as an isotropic conductive framework alternative to MOFs.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

Compound 1 is assigned as a chiral, porous, cubic srs supramolecular framework constructed through both hydrogen bonding and intermolecular pi-pi interactions.

Caveat: checkCIF reports one level A solvent-accessible-void alert and the SI states SQUEEZE was used for highly disordered solvent.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

The authors claim isotropic charge transport arises because the cubic structure contains pi-stacked helical columns along all three Cartesian coordinates.

Caveat: The paper reports pellet conductivity and cubic/three-directional column structure; the available text does not report separate directional single-crystal conductivity measurements.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

DFT HOMO/LUMO analysis supports a through-space pi-pi transport pathway along the stacked columns.

Caveat: The DFT calculation was performed on a finite helical-pitch column model rather than the infinite crystal.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Compound 1 is described as semiconducting based on its 300 K pellet conductivity and optical band gap.

Caveat: Conductivity was measured by a two-probe pellet method; contact resistance and pellet dimensions are not fully reported in the available text.
