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

The S4-based Ni3(HITP)2-GA-DNA FET sensor gives the best Hg2+ sensing response, with a linear response from 10 pM to 100 nM and R2 = 0.981.

Caveat: Calibration slope and R2 are read from the figure label; individual current response points are visual estimates.

CaveatSupport assessment: High

The S4 Ni3(HITP)2-GA-DNA FET sensor shows degraded performance on retesting after 26 h and is presented as a one-time-use sensor.

Caveat: Only one retest interval (26 h) is shown in the supplied documents.

Composite RoleSupport assessment: High

DNA probes are required for Hg2+ capture/identification, while GA improves chemical loading of DNA probes on Ni3(HITP)2.

Caveat: Control responses are mainly qualitative in the text; exact control current responses are not tabulated.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

S1-S4 membranes are assigned as pure Ni3(HITP)2 with a two-dimensional stacked honeycomb structure.

Caveat: PXRD/FT-IR are reported as series data; no CIF/refinement data are included in the supplied documents.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Increasing ammonia/water ratio makes the Ni3(HITP)2 membrane denser and thicker, and increases FET mobility from about 6.15 to 270.9 cm2 V-1 s-1.

Caveat: Mobility values are reported as approximate calculated values; mechanistic attribution to membrane density is the authors' interpretation.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Hg2+ binds specifically between thymine bases in the DNA probes to form T-Hg2+-T structures, affecting channel conductance and increasing drain current through hole accumulation in the p-type MOF channel.

Caveat: Mechanism is inferred from known T-Hg2+-T binding and current response; direct spectroscopic proof of T-Hg2+-T in this device is not shown in the extracted text.
