Author interpretations and caveats

Paraphrased for this database from the authors’ stated interpretations — never quoted verbatim — and kept separate from reported measurements.

CaveatSupport assessment: Medium

Mg(TFSI)2 outside the MOF is unlikely to be responsible for the observed vapour-induced conduction because the salt control did not show the same drastic enhancement and some vapour conditions could not be measured due to deliquescence.

Caveat: Control values are in SI Figure S8; deliquescence prevented direct salt-control measurements under MeOH, EtOH, and MeCN.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

Mg(TFSI)2 salt is incorporated inside Mg-MOF-74 pores up to about x = 0.15; x = 0.17 exceeds the pore capacity and gives extra salt peaks.

Caveat: Detailed TGA/XRPD supporting figures are in available SI, but main-text XRPD and BET statements are clear.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

The vapour-induced conductivity enhancement is linked to adsorption of suitably small guest molecules, which likely coordinate Mg2+ and increase carrier mobility inside the size-limited pores.

Caveat: The authors state other contributions may also assist transport; exact pore structures of adsorbed species were not solved due to disorder.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

The vapour-induced ionic conduction is predominantly associated with Mg2+ transport, supported by a Mg2+ transport number of 0.47 under MeCN vapour.

Caveat: Measured under MeCN vapour at 60 deg C, not under the highest-conductivity MeOH condition.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

The similar conductivities under protic EtOH and aprotic MeCN, plus the low vapour conductivity of x = 0 Mg-MOF-74, argue that proton conduction is not the dominant source of the vapour-induced enhancement.

Caveat: Direct proton-blocking or isotope experiments are not reported in the main text; the claim is inferential.

p004 / article p.21127 · Ionic Conductivity and Mg2+ Transport · Figure 3 and Figure S6 · Linked to 3 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Organic vapour induces superionic Mg-ion conduction in Mg-MOF-74 superset {Mg(TFSI)2}0.15, reaching 2.6 x 10-4 S cm-1 at 25 deg C under MeOH vapour.

Caveat: Best conductivity is reported in text; complete Nyquist/Arrhenius details and comparison table are in available SI.
