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

3EG side chains exceed the useful steric limit for these Ni TAT cMOFs, producing significantly reduced crystallinity/nearly amorphous powders that were excluded from transport interpretation.

Caveat: No first-hand transport values are reported for Ni-3EG.

p019 · Supplementary Discussion · Supplementary Figure 14 · Linked to 1 structured result

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Extending from 1EG to 2EG reduces ionic conductivity primarily by pore blocking and reduced Li uptake despite increased polarity.

Caveat: Authors acknowledge other possible effects such as ion trapping or reduced segmental mobility, but treat steric hindrance as most consistent.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

Positioning ether oxygen atoms away from the conjugated TAT backbone helps preserve π-conjugation and electronic conductivity while tuning pore chemistry.

Caveat: Based on reported DFT band-structure trends and conductivity, not a direct chemical perturbation measurement.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Changing Ni to Cu lowers electronic conductivity by about three orders of magnitude because Ni frameworks have stronger in-plane metal-ligand overlap, while Cu systems are more sensitive to interlayer disruption.

Caveat: Mechanistic explanation is inferred from prior literature, DRUV-vis, XPS, and DFT rather than direct mobility measurements.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Ni-1EG gives the best mixed ionic-electronic balance because 1EG increases ionophilicity and Li uptake while preserving crystallinity, pore accessibility, interlayer spacing, and electronic conductivity.

Caveat: Best ionic value includes a highest observed value; average ionic conductivity is lower but still highest in series.
