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

Chiral amine incorporation gives strong circularly polarized luminescence in PbI2@PCN-606, with P near 28-29% at cryogenic temperature.

Caveat: Main CPL values are optical measurements at 77-78 K; room-temperature values are lower in SI temperature series.

423 · Tailoring optical properties · Fig. 4h · Linked to 3 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

Higher-dimensional PbI2 sublattices in the 3D MOF framework improve photoexcited carrier lifetime, photocurrent response and charge-transfer resistance.

Caveat: Photocurrent and EIS comparisons are largely graphical/qualitative except for the reported 115 ohm PCN-606 value.

S4-S5 · Physical properties · Linked to 3 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

PbI2@MOF superlattices retain permanent porosity after guest loading, with BET areas from 416 to 1083 cm2 g-1 for the four main PbI2@MOFs.

Caveat: Surface areas decrease relative to pristine templates for several samples.

421-422 · Physical properties · Linked to 4 structured results

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: High

Coordination between metal-halide guests and unsaturated Zr6-node sites directs nucleation and confined growth into 0D, 1D and 2D superlattices.

Caveat: Mechanistic details are inferred from time-dependent SC-XRD and supporting characterization rather than in situ spectroscopy for every framework.

419 · Confined growth mechanism · Linked to 3 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Amine-modified PbI2@MOF photoluminescence is assigned to exciton emission rather than defect emission.

Caveat: Authors describe the spectroscopy study as preliminary for complex amine/PbI2@MOF structures.
