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: High

The 3000 rpm CPO-27-Ni/pentacene bilayer OFET detects DES vapour down to 10 ppm under room-temperature conditions.

Caveat: Authors infer capability below 10 ppm but did not experimentally measure below 10 ppm.

p007 / article p.30586 · Results and Discussion · Figure 6a,b · Linked to 5 structured results

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

The bilayer OFET is more sensitive to DES than to DPGME, nitrobenzene, or toluene at the same tested concentrations.

Caveat: Selectivity values for comparator gases are read visually from Figure 6d; LDA plot is qualitative without reported classification metrics.

p007 / article p.30586 · Results and Discussion · Figure 6d,e · Linked to 7 structured results

CaveatSupport assessment: Medium

The bilayer OFET shows bias-stress transients and ambient ageing mobility loss, so device stability is usable but caveated for long-term deployment.

Caveat: SI text and Figure S6b appear inconsistent on the magnitude of 65-day mobility reduction; both were recorded with provenance.

CaveatSupport assessment: Medium

DES desorption/recovery is slow at room temperature, likely because reversible physisorption is limited by insufficient desorption energy and some DES remains attached to Ni sites.

Caveat: Recovery-time numbers are not tabulated in the main text; detailed response is graphical.

p008 / article p.30587 · Results and Discussion · Figure 6c · Linked to 1 structured result

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

CPO-27-Ni provides open Ni2+ Lewis acidic sites and porous channels that can capture and interact with DES vapour.

Caveat: The specific DES-Ni binding depiction is schematic and partly supported by prior H2S/CPO-27-Ni literature cited by the authors.

p007 / article p.30586 · Results and Discussion · Figure 5f · Linked to 6 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

CPO-27-Ni powder retains its PXRD crystallinity after extended ambient exposure/use, supporting its use as a stable sensing-layer component.

Caveat: The SI reports qualitative retention from PXRD; no numeric crystallinity metric is provided.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

CPO-27-Ni diffusion damages the pentacene thin-film phase while progressively increasing the bulk crystalline phase, interpreted as MOF-induced recrystallisation.

Caveat: Integrated peak area values are shown graphically but not tabulated in the main text.

p005 / article p.30584 · Results and Discussion · Figure 4c · Linked to 4 structured results

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Spin-coated CPO-27-Ni crystallites diffuse into pentacene grain boundaries, creating a bilayer channel and roughening/non-stationary growth.

Caveat: Direct diffusion evidence is based mainly on AFM phase/morphology and growth-scaling interpretation, not a chemically resolved depth profile in the main text.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Among the bilayer OFET rpm series, the 3000 rpm CPO-27-Ni coating gives the highest carrier mobility and was selected for sensing experiments.

Caveat: Mobility values are figure-read estimates because numeric tabulated values are in missing SI/plots.

p006 / article p.30585 · Results and Discussion · Figure 5c · Linked to 4 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Bilayer OFETs have lower drain current than pristine pentacene OFETs, attributed to Schottky barrier formation, polar traps, defects, and possible confinement effects.

Caveat: Drain-current numbers are visual estimates; mechanistic attribution is interpretive.
