Author interpretations and caveats

Paraphrased for this database from the authors’ stated interpretations — never quoted verbatim — and kept separate from reported measurements.

CaveatSupport assessment: High

The materials decomposed upon 80 C thermal activation and showed only a small BET surface area, so permanent porosity was not established.

Caveat: BET value is reported generally for the materials, not separately for 4 and 5.

p002 / journal p2408 · Porosity discussion · Linked to 2 structured results

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

As-synthesised networks 4 and 5 contain neutral EDT-TTF cores and do not show the organic radical EPR signature.

Caveat: Neutral assignment is inferred by authors from bond distances and EPR absence of radical signal.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

Interdigitation/stacking of 1D coordination networks organises sulfur-rich EDT-TTF cores into stacks that can support transport after post-synthetic oxidation.

Caveat: The study demonstrates enhanced conductivity after oxidation, but does not provide microscopic transport modelling.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Iodine solution treatment surface-oxidises networks 4 and 5, generates EDT-TTF radical cations, and increases conductivity from insulating controls to about 10^-6-10^-7 S cm^-1 in single crystals.

Caveat: Iodine-containing anions were not clearly resolved crystallographically; authors argue doping is surface-limited.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

No clear orientation effect was observed in single-crystal conductivity; values along the TTF stacking direction and perpendicular direction were similar.

Caveat: Device-to-device spread is large and all values are rounded figure-read values.
