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

Centimetre-scale 2D CuCl-TU sheets combine high optical transparency with room-temperature conductivity suitable for transparent-electrode demonstrations.

Caveat: Optical transmittance values are mostly figure-read estimates; long-term device stability and sheet resistance statistics are limited in the supplied text.

1 · Abstract · Linked to 4 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Charge transport is highly anisotropic because polaron hopping occurs preferentially along the Cu-Cl repeating backbone direction.

Caveat: Orientation assignment is inferred from the polymer backbone direction and FIB contact geometry.

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: High

CuCl-TU dimensionality is governed by competition between rolling-up and stacking of initially formed 2D nanosheets; shear rate, time, interfacial extraction, and linker substitution steer 1D, 2D or 3D products.

Caveat: Some dynamic-process evidence is in supplementary movies that were not supplied locally; text and static figures support the mechanism.

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Substituting thiourea linkers allows predesign of CuCl-TU dimensionality through steric bulk, hydrogen bonding, concentration and linker orientation effects.

Caveat: Conductivity was not reported separately for each linker-substituted analogue in the supplied text.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

High conductivity in wide-bandgap CuCl-TU is attributed to Jahn-Teller hole-polaron states on the Cu-Cl backbone, allowing hopping between adjacent Cu centres.

Caveat: Mechanistic assignment combines experimental UV-vis/XPS context and DFT calculations rather than a direct temperature-dependent transport activation fit.
