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

The charged frameworks selectively adsorb anionic dyes such as methyl blue and methyl orange, but show no affinity toward cationic RhB and MB under the reported UV-vis tests.

Caveat: Most detailed adsorption, stability and cycling data are in missing SI figures; main text gives representative values.

main p.8-9, article p.15755-15756 · Results and discussion · Table 4; Figure 13 · Linked to 3 structured results

CaveatSupport assessment: High

Supporting Information is required for full characterisation spectra, adsorption fitting details, literature comparison tables and the circuit video; it was not supplied in the local document set.

Caveat: Missing SI affects completeness of synthesis verification and supporting characterisation extraction.

main p.10, article p.15757 · Associated Content · Supporting Information

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

After DMA guest removal, the MOFs retain measurable conductivity attributed to enhanced electron-density differences and Co oxidation for charge neutrality.

Caveat: XPS evidence is shown for representative MOF2/d-MOF2, not every member of the d-MOF series.

main p.6-7, article p.15753-15754 · Results and discussion · Table 3; Figure 10 · Linked to 2 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Representative MOFs show decreasing conductivity with increasing temperature, interpreted as metallic behaviour.

Caveat: The supplied main text reports qualitative trend and activation energies; full Figure S5/S6 data are in missing SI.

main p.5-6, article p.15752-15753 · Results and discussion · Figure 7; Table 2 · Linked to 3 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Electrical conductivity is governed by heterometal arrangement and electron-density differences between Mn and Co centres; equimolar MOF1 gives the highest conductivity while asymmetric MOF4 gives the lowest.

Caveat: Mechanistic interpretation is inferred by authors from composition-conductivity trend and structural model, not directly from carrier-density measurements in the provided main text.
