Author interpretations and caveats

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

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

CP1 has the highest conductivity because its continuous Cu2I2 stair motif provides better charge-carrier transport than CP3, while CP2 has the lowest conductivity.

Caveat: The authors explicitly note the structures are different and cannot be directly compared; mechanism is structure-based interpretation rather than a separate carrier-transport model.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

CP3 is the most thermally stable among the reported CPs due to its 2D structure.

Caveat: Only TGA degradation onset and mass-loss traces are reported; no kinetic analysis.

5 · Thermogravimetric analysis · Fig. S15-S17 · Linked to 4 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Changing the triazole-substituted pyridine ligand isomer changes the coordination polymer dimensionality and consequently the photophysical and electrical properties.

Caveat: The comparison is among three related but structurally distinct pristine frameworks.

7 · Conclusion · Linked to 6 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

All three pristine Cu(I)-iodide coordination polymers behave as semiconductors at room temperature based on pressed-pellet conductivities in the 10^-7 to 10^-8 S cm^-1 range.

Caveat: Two-probe pressed-pellet measurements can include contact and pellet-density effects; no uncertainty or thickness/contact geometry is reported.
