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: Medium

The two materials are presented as rare conducting magnetic MOFs and the first examples, according to the authors, delaminated into few-layer nanosheets.

Caveat: No electrical conductivity was reported for the exfoliated nanosheet films themselves.

p006-p007 · Conclusions · Figure 8 · Linked to 8 structured results

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

Compounds 1 and 2 are mixed-valence Fe(II)/Fe(III) 2D MOFs with average Fe oxidation state +2.5 and oxidised anilato ligands.

Caveat: Fe(II)/Fe(III) centres are crystallographically equivalent at 120 K because the electron is delocalised.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Electrical transport is strongly anisotropic, with in-plane conductivity exceeding through-layer conductivity by factors of ca. 300 for compound 1 and ca. 500 for compound 2.

Caveat: Ratios are based on averaged two-contact measurements on small single crystals.

p005 · Electrical Conductivity · Table S2 · Linked to 6 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

The Cl derivative is about one order of magnitude more conductive parallel to the layers than the Br derivative, consistent with greater electron delocalisation in compound 1.

Caveat: Conductivities were measured by a two-contact method on single crystals; contact effects are not separately deconvoluted.

p005-p007 · Electrical Conductivity; Conclusions · Table S2 · Linked to 4 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Electron delocalisation between Fe centres enables both semiconducting transport and ferromagnetic coupling via double exchange.

Caveat: The double-exchange mechanism is the authors' interpretation rather than a directly measured microscopic parameter.
