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: High

I2-incorporated EuL is presented as an iodine-element-incorporated MOF usable for conductivity studies under anhydrous conditions and moderate temperature.

Caveat: Conductivity is modest; authors stopped measurements above 80 degC because TGA showed significant iodine loss.

242 · Electrical properties · Fig. 7; Fig. 8; Fig. S6 · Linked to 4 structured results

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

Activated EuL has permanent porosity with type-I N2 sorption behaviour.

Caveat: Surface area and pore volume are modest and lower than a previous Yb analogue discussed by the authors.

239 · General characterization · Fig. S4 · Linked to 3 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

Cu2+ sensing sites are located inside EuL channels rather than only on the crystal surface.

Caveat: EDS line-scan evidence is qualitative and figure-based.

240 · Luminescence properties · Fig. 5 · Linked to 2 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

The delayed iodine loss in I2-incorporated EuL suggests interaction between iodine and the framework.

Caveat: Interaction is inferred from TGA hysteresis rather than directly resolved iodine positions.

239 · General characterization · Fig. 2; Fig. S3 · Linked to 2 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Acetone quenches EuL luminescence because the BPT absorption band overlaps the acetone absorption band, reducing energy transfer to Eu3+.

Caveat: Mechanism is proposed from spectral overlap and luminescence response, not from time-resolved mechanistic proof.

240 · Luminescence properties · Fig. 6 · Linked to 3 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

The authors speculate that iodide/polyiodide species confined in EuL channels act as the charge-carrier medium.

Caveat: Carrier identity is described as speculation by analogy to prior iodine-loaded MOFs; no direct speciation data are reported here.
