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

Continuous semiconductive MOF glass films provide a large-area, low-temperature route to direct X-ray detectors.

Caveat: Application performance is demonstrated on lab X-ray detector devices, not on a commercial detector stack.

main p.7 · 3. Conclusion · Linked to 3 structured results

CaveatSupport assessment: High

The originally published Figure 2a mistakenly used the recrystallised-sample PXRD pattern rather than freshly synthesised MOF powder; the corrected pattern still agrees with the theoretical pattern.

Caveat: Correction states the change does not affect experimental results, discussions or conclusions.

correction p.1 · Correction · Corrected Figure 2a · Linked to 1 structured result

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

ZnPIm retained its glassy amorphous state during X-ray testing.

Caveat: This supporting result was added in the correction's updated Supporting Information and is represented locally by the correction document.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

MOFs with organic linkers lacking benzene rings are reported to have higher mobility-lifetime products and longer carrier-diffusion lengths than those containing benzene rings.

Caveat: The relationship is inferred by the authors from the four-linker series; no independent mechanistic transport experiment beyond mu-tau/diffusion comparison is shown.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

The smooth, homogeneous glass morphology is linked to reduced material defects and improved charge transfer compared with pressed discs.

Caveat: Disc X-ray response is described qualitatively; quantitative disc response values were not present in the available text.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

The H2PO4 linker is proposed to facilitate proton transport within the ZnPIm framework, contributing to semiconductive characteristics.

Caveat: The statement is mechanistic interpretation; direct proton-transport measurements were not present in the available text.
