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

Negative calculated formation enthalpies suggest the hypothetical M-IRMOF-993 analogues could be stable phases, although real experimental conditions may favour other phases.

Caveat: Formation energies are from elements and omit phonon/thermal corrections; authors explicitly note possible competing phases under real conditions.

CaveatSupport assessment: High

The paper reports computed electronic and optical properties but no experimental electrical-transport, thermoelectric, electrochemical, porosity, or device measurements.

Caveat: Optical conductivity in Fig. 7 is a calculated frequency-dependent optical response, not dc conductivity.

16324-16325 · Abstract and Computational details

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

M-IRMOF-993 frameworks are predicted intermediate-band MOFs, with the IB mainly arising from carbon atoms in the ADC linker and only minor O contribution.

Caveat: Prediction is computational; no experimental bandgap data were available for comparison.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

All M-IRMOF-993 models are mechanically soft compared with corresponding metal oxides because hard inorganic nodes are connected by soft organic linkers and large pores form.

Caveat: Bulk moduli are computed from equation-of-state fits; no experimental B0 values were available for Zn-IRMOF-993.
