Author interpretations and caveats

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

CaveatSupport assessment: Medium

TGA indicates solvent-filled channels in all three complexes, but disordered solvent prevents assigning the weight losses.

Caveat: No BET surface area or quantitative pore volume is reported.

4 · 3.2 PXRD and TGA · Figure S7 · Linked to 3 structured results

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: Medium

PXRD confirms phase purity of complexes 1-3.

Caveat: The statement is author-reported; rendered PXRD traces are available but were not peak-fitted independently.

4 · 3.2 PXRD and TGA · Figure S8-S10 · Linked to 3 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

Complex 3 has the highest conductivity, attributed by the authors to parallel TTF stacking and relatively short neighbouring S...S distances.

Caveat: Author-proposed correlation across only three materials; no mechanistic transport model or activation energy series is reported.

5 · 3.4 Electrical conductivity · Fig. 5; Figure S15 · Linked to 3 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Diffuse reflectance and EPR support TTFTB radical cations and TTFTB0/TTFTB radical-cation intervalence charge transfer in all three complexes.

Caveat: Assignments follow the authors' spectroscopic interpretation.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

All three complexes are semiconductive by optical band-gap and pellet conductivity measurements.

Caveat: Conductivity was measured on pressed pellets with two-contact geometry; no temperature-dependent activation energies are reported.
