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

Although crystallographically porous, activated La-ONDI is nearly non-porous for N2 and CO2, likely because activation induces a structural transformation/contraction.

Caveat: Gas-sorption numerical values were read from the figure annotation; the qualitative non-porous conclusion is in the SI caption and main text.

3 · Framework stability · Fig. S8 · Linked to 4 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

La-ONDI combines high chemical stability with moderate electrical conductivity, remaining crystalline from pH 3 to pH 13 and in common organic solvents/reagents.

Caveat: Stability evidence is based on PXRD phase retention, not full retention of all physical properties.

3 and 5 · Framework stability; Conclusions · Fig. 2 · Linked to 3 structured results

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: High

Catechol is not encapsulated/incorporated in La-ONDI-Catechol; it acts as a reducing reagent that promotes NDI radical-anion formation.

Caveat: Based on nearly identical PXRD/IR and absence of catechol proton signals in dissolved sample NMR.

4 · Optical properties and radical character · Fig. S13; Fig. S14; Fig. S15 · Linked to 2 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Band transport via pi-pi interactions is excluded; electron hopping between redox-active centres is proposed as the main charge transport mechanism.

Caveat: Mechanism is inferred from structural separation, redox activity and temperature dependence rather than direct carrier-mobility measurement.

5 · Electrical conductivity · Fig. S18; Fig. S19 · Linked to 4 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Significant proton transport is considered unlikely because La-ONDI lacks a continuous hydrogen-bond network.

Caveat: Negative mechanistic claim based on structural hydrogen-bond analysis rather than isotope or humidity-dependent transport.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

The increased electrical conductivity of La-ONDI-DMF and La-ONDI-Catechol is attributed to higher concentrations of NDI radical anions generated by more reducing synthesis environments.

Caveat: Conductivity was measured on pressed pellets and authors caution it may be underestimated by grain-boundary resistance and anisotropy.
