Author interpretations and caveats

Paraphrased for this database from the authors’ stated interpretations — never quoted verbatim — and kept separate from reported measurements.

CaveatSupport assessment: High

This paper is a computational/theoretical modelling study of Ni3(HITP)2-derived SBU stacks, so no synthesis route should be extracted as first-hand evidence.

Caveat: Ni3(HITP)2 itself is taken from prior literature; this paper does not report a new wet-lab synthesis recipe.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

The calculated long-range excitonic coupling J and short-range charge-transfer coupling T depend strongly on interlayer spacing, displacement, rotation, and tilt of Ni3(HITP)2 SBUs.

Caveat: Only computationally evaluated model geometries are reported.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

SBU relaxation energy and Huang-Rhys lambda values are proposed as design variables for tuning structure-optical property relationships in layered MOFs.

Caveat: The lambda design discussion is computational and includes a hypothetical substituted SBU comparison.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

The Frenkel/charge-transfer Holstein Hamiltonian predicts that photophysical properties, including absorption spectra, critically depend on the degree of ordering between layered MOF sheets.

Caveat: Photophysical response is simulated; direct experimental displacement engineering in layered MOFs is noted as currently beyond reach.
