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 pristine two-dimensional Mn-pyrazine-chloride coordination polymer exhibits semiconducting electrical behaviour.

Caveat: Conductivity calculation depends on pellet thickness and area, which are not reported.

269-270 · Abstract; conductivity discussion · Fig. 3 · Linked to 3 structured results

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

The polymer framework is thermally robust in air up to about 310 C.

Caveat: The main-text stability threshold is explicit; additional Fig. S1 curve values are visual estimates from the rendered SI plot.

CaveatSupport assessment: High

The crystallographic validation report contains level A alerts, including an ADDSYM suggestion of possible C2/m pseudo/new symmetry.

Caveat: The checkCIF report also states that structure factors were not supplied, so the full set of tests could not be run.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

The coordination polymer is assigned as a triclinic P-1 two-dimensional rectangular framework with an infinite sheet structure.

Caveat: checkCIF flags possible higher/pseudo symmetry C2/m and several validation alerts.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

The authors attribute conductivity to electron transfer through compact columnar aromatic pi-pi interactions and pi/metal transfer pathways.

Caveat: Mechanism is proposed from structure-property correlation rather than direct electronic-structure or spectroscopic proof.
