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

Post-electrolysis checks did not indicate sizeable cobalt macrocycle leaching, but CoPc@NU-1000-h loses about 20-25% electrocatalytic current, possibly due to leaching of electroactive TBAPy linkers.

Caveat: Some stability evidence is qualitative or figure-based; current loss mechanism is proposed rather than directly proven.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

CoPc-COO and TPP(Co)-COO are installed at Zr-oxo SBUs in a bidentate mode that creates the 3676 cm-1 locked hydroxy-aqua node signature.

Caveat: Assignment relies on DRIFTS signatures and prior literature for NU-1000 node chemistry.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

TPP(Co)@NU-1000 suffers from thermodynamically unfavourable second-electron transfer because the TPP(Co) Co(I/0) potential is far more negative than the NU-1000 reduction potential.

Caveat: Redox potentials of Co species were taken from homogeneous DMF measurements and converted/reported against RHE.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Charge delivery from NU-1000 to the installed molecular catalyst, rather than CO2 adsorption or local environment, is the determinant factor for the different CO selectivities.

Caveat: Electrocatalysis occurs on composite electrodes with carbon/Nafion for many measurements; the CA Dhop analysis used binder-free films to reduce this complication.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Installed CoPc can participate in the charge-hopping pathway as a redox relay, increasing Dhop and lowering MOF charge-transfer resistance.

Caveat: The authors note they cannot exclude CoPc-CoPc redox hopping at 0.5 CoPc per node loading.
