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

Mixed-linker sensing performance is nonlinear rather than an average of the single-linker analogues; Mn2[TTF]0.78[NiS4]0.22 gives the highest low-concentration SNR and lowest reported theoretical LODs.

Caveat: Some LOD and multi-metric values are summarised graphically in Figure 4f and not fully numerical in text.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

Mn2[NiS4] is suited to rapid VOC detection under high humidity, with fast response/recovery, 80% RH resistance, 90.4 degree WCA, and very low power consumption.

Caveat: Application conclusion is based on chemiresistive device tests under the authors' custom chamber conditions.

6 · Conclusion · Linked to 5 structured results

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

SCXRD, ICP, EDX, and PXRD support simultaneous incorporation of TTF and Ni-bis(dithiolene) linkers in Mn2[TTF]0.49[NiS4]0.51 without phase separation, and related series members are isostructural.

Caveat: Single-crystal refinement is directly reported only for x = 0.49/0.51; other compositions are assigned by PXRD and ICP.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Electrical conductivity decreases across the series as the NiS4 fraction increases, spanning roughly three orders of magnitude from Mn2[TTF] to Mn2[NiS4].

Caveat: Conductivity values are powder compact/two-probe values and depend on geometry and compaction.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Increasing NiS4 fraction switches the dominant semiconducting behaviour from p-type for TTF-rich frameworks to n-type for NiS4-rich frameworks.

Caveat: Carrier-type assignment uses supported electrodes and Mott-Schottky/photocurrent/photovoltage evidence rather than Hall measurements.
