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

Gd-HHTP and Tb-HHTP show robust quantum tunnelling of magnetisation and slow magnetic relaxation up to about 28-30 K.

Caveat: The dynamic measurements were reported only for Gd-HHTP and Tb-HHTP; Sm-HHTP AC response was not resolvable.

9 · Magnetic Properties · Linked to 5 structured results

CaveatSupport assessment: High

No thermoelectric figure of merit, Seebeck coefficient, electrochemical capacitance or battery performance data were reported for these materials.

Caveat: Absence is based on the provided main and SI documents only.

1 · Article scope

OtherSupport assessment: Medium

PXRD, microscopy and gas sorption support an isostructural porous Ln-HHTP series with hexagonal channels and microporosity.

Caveat: Alternative structural/symmetry variants could not be fully excluded.

4 · Synthesis and Structural Analysis · Linked to 6 structured results

OtherSupport assessment: Medium

Charge transport is assigned mainly to interlayer pi stacking of ligands, while lanthanide metal states modulate the conductivity trend.

Caveat: Mechanistic conclusion is based on DFT-supported interpretation rather than direct mobility measurements.

7 · Electronic Structures and Electrical Conductivity · Linked to 4 structured results

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

The paper reports four pristine isoreticular lanthanide HHTP conductive MOFs: Sm-HHTP, Eu-HHTP, Gd-HHTP and Tb-HHTP.

Caveat: Exact crystallographic solution remains model-based because SCXRD/MicroED were not definitive.

1 · Abstract · Linked to 4 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Room-temperature conductivity decreases strongly from Sm-HHTP to Tb-HHTP.

Caveat: Batch-to-batch standard deviations are large but do not overturn the overall order.

5 · Electronic Structures and Electrical Conductivity · Linked to 4 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Changing the lanthanide tunes magnetic interactions from ferromagnetic Sm/Gd-HHTP to antiferromagnetic Tb-HHTP.

Caveat: Eu-HHTP is essentially diamagnetic and was excluded from the detailed magnetic comparison.

7 · Magnetic Properties · Linked to 6 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

All four Ln-HHTP MOFs behave as semiconductors with thermally activated transport.

Caveat: Pelletised-powder four-probe values may include intergranular hopping contributions.
