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

Cationic dye adsorption is promoted at alkaline pH because ZIF-7 is negatively charged above pHPZC 7.5, favouring electrostatic attraction to MB and BG.

Caveat: Mechanism is inferred by the authors from pH response and kinetic/isotherm fits rather than direct surface-complex evidence.

4-5 · 3.2.2. Effect of pH · Figs. 5, 6 · Linked to 3 structured results

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: Medium

Adsorption thermodynamics indicate an endothermic and spontaneous adsorption process for MB and BG on ZIF-7.

Caveat: Thermodynamic constants are adsorption-derived and depend on the authors' Kc definition.

11-12 · 3.2.8. Parameters of thermodynamics · Table 6 · Linked to 4 structured results

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: Medium

MB and BG adsorption kinetics on ZIF-7 are best described by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model, consistent with chemisorption.

Caveat: Model-fit assignment relies on linearised kinetic models; no independent mechanistic spectroscopy is reported.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

The synthesised product is crystalline ZIF-7, supported by PXRD peaks matching known rhombohedral ZIF-7/JCPDS data and EDX detection of C, N and Zn.

Caveat: No CIF or Rietveld refinement is provided in the assigned documents.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

ZIF-7 is described as mesoporous with BET surface area 94.19 m2 g-1 and average pore size 2.79 nm.

Caveat: BET/BJH numerical values are reported in text; raw sorption data are not provided.

3 · 3.1.3. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area · Fig. 2 · Linked to 3 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

The AC conduction mechanism of pristine ZIF-7 is assigned to the overlapping large-polaron tunneling (OLPT) model.

Caveat: The article does not report device preparation/contact geometry, and S values are only available from the plotted figure.
