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

PXRD retention after aqueous pH, salt, lake-water and seawater treatments supports use of 1 under environmentally relevant sensing conditions.

Caveat: PXRD retention is qualitative; no long-term cycling or quantitative crystallinity retention is reported.

p004 / article p.16451 · Results and Discussion - Stability Test · Figures 2 and S3 · Linked to 2 structured results

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: Medium

The authors claim compound 1 has the lowest chromate detection limit among reported MOF-based chromium sensors at the time of publication.

Caveat: This is a literature comparison current to the 2017 paper and was not independently updated; later literature was not fetched.

p005 / article p.16452 · Results and Discussion - Detection Limit · Table S5 · Linked to 2 structured results

CaveatSupport assessment: High

No electrical-transport, thermoelectric, or electrochemical conductivity measurements are reported for compound 1.

Caveat: Based on full-text search and reading of the main article, SI PDF text, and CIF supplied locally.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

Compound 1 is a 3D cationic Eu(III)-mtb MOF with (4,8)-connected topology and disordered exchangeable nitrate anions in its channels.

Caveat: Eu2 positional disorder is significant and discussed in the SI; formula differs between main formula, SI table, and CIF due to refinement/disorder/solvation conventions.

p003 / article p.16450 · Results and Discussion - Structure and General Characterizations · Figure 1 · Linked to 3 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Chromate sensing is attributed to selective chromate uptake and excitation-light/energy-transfer interactions that quench Eu(III) luminescence.

Caveat: Mechanism is supported by spectral overlap, adsorption kinetics/isotherms, and selectivity but not by direct time-resolved energy-transfer measurements in the extracted text.

p008 / article p.16455 · Conclusions · Linked to 5 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Permanent microporosity and exchangeable nitrate anions are proposed to enable fast anion exchange and chromate uptake.

Caveat: The text links porosity and disordered nitrate to exchange qualitatively; detailed pore diffusion constants are not reported.
