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

The cMOF-modified GC electrode is an electrochemical paraquat sensor with LOD below the cited EPA limit and a 0.2-5 uM linear range.

Caveat: Application was tested in paraquat solution; the database should treat the electrode as a composite/device sample rather than a pristine cMOF transport sample.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

The experimental PXRD pattern agrees with an eclipsed stacking model and not with the staggered model.

Caveat: Structure assignment is based on PXRD fitting/simulation rather than reported single-crystal diffraction.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

XPS supports mixed Cu(I)/Cu(II) and catecholate/semiquinonate states in the CuO4 units, which the authors connect to possible redox chemistry and negative CuO4 units.

Caveat: Charge states are inferred from deconvoluted XPS peak assignments; no direct oxidation-state quantification beyond areas is supplied.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

The larger grain-boundary activation energy indicates that charge hopping between grain boundaries dominates electrical conduction.

Caveat: The equivalent-circuit interpretation depends on fitting two partially overlapped semicircles.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

The cMOF shows Arrhenius-type temperature-dependent conductivity and semiconductor-like behaviour.

Caveat: Conductivity is measured on compressed powder/tablet; grain-boundary effects are significant.
