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 Fc oxidation peak at 0.57 V is stable and acts as a target-independent internal reference for ratiometric DPASV detection.

Caveat: Repeated-scan DPASV stability is described in the main text and SI Fig. S4 caption/text; no numerical RSD for the Fc peak is reported.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

The ratiometric strategy improves reproducibility compared with non-ratiometric stripping-current readout.

Caveat: Comparison is made for five parallel electrodes in the reported assay conditions.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

Fc-NH2-Ni-MOF/GCE is applicable to real-water analysis, with near-quantitative tap-water spike recoveries and river-water recovery values comparable with ICP-AES.

Caveat: River-water data are from the SI text table; the SI has text-layer artefacts but the table values are readable.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

Post-synthetic Fc-COOH modification retains the NH2-Ni-MOF framework/nanoplate structure while introducing Fc-related Fe/XRD/FTIR features.

Caveat: Full structural model/topology is not given in the main text.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Fc modification improves the charge-transfer ability/electrical conductivity of the MOF electrode, as shown by higher ferricyanide CV current and smaller EIS semicircle for Fc-NH2-Ni-MOF/GCE relative to NH2-Ni-MOF/GCE.

Caveat: No absolute solid-state conductivity is reported; evidence is electrochemical charge-transfer proxy data from CV/EIS.
