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

PCN-222(Ni) gives the highest reported formate production among the present-work PCN-222(M) catalysts.

Caveat: GC/MS and IMS/table values differ slightly in absolute value but both rank Ni highest.

4-6 · Photocatalytic reaction over PCN-222(M); Table 1 · Figure 6; Table 1 · Linked to 3 structured results

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: Medium

PCN-222(Fe) retains photocatalytic activity over six 10 h recycling runs and preserves its PXRD pattern after reaction.

Caveat: Cycle values are approximate bar-chart readings; the text describes no noticeable change, though the rendered bars show a small decline from roughly 52 to 47 umol.

CaveatSupport assessment: High

No direct electrical transport or thermoelectric measurement is reported; transport-relevant evidence is limited to PL quenching and Mott-Schottky band analysis.

Caveat: Based on the read main text, SI text, and rendered SI pages; the paper reports no direct conductivity, mobility, Seebeck coefficient, or thermoelectric measurements.

3-5 · Characterization of catalyst; Bandgap level analysis · Figure 5; Figure 7 · Linked to 2 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

The metalloporphyrinic PCN-222(M) frameworks are high-surface-area mesoporous MOFs with BET areas around 2010-2030 m2 g-1 and pore volumes of 1.19-1.41 cm3 g-1.

Caveat: BET and pore-volume values come from the rendered SI Table S1; isotherm shapes are qualitative/visual in Figure S5.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Metal centres in porphyrinic PCN-222(M) improve CO2 adsorption relative to nonmetal PCN-222.

Caveat: CO2 uptake values are reported in main text; detailed adsorption curves and Qst estimates are partly graphical.

3 · Characterization of catalyst · Figure 4 · Linked to 5 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

The proposed mechanism involves visible-light absorption by MTCPP linkers, electron transfer to Zr clusters, Zr(IV)/Zr(III) cycling, and reduction of CO2 to formate with TEOA as sacrificial donor.

Caveat: Mechanistic picture is proposed by authors from indirect spectroscopy, band-position and photocatalysis data rather than direct operando observation.

6-7 · Reaction mechanism and pathways of CO2 reduction · Figure 8 · Linked to 4 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Lower PL intensity for PCN-222(M) versus nonmetal PCN-222 indicates faster electron transfer in the metalloporphyrinic frameworks.

Caveat: PL interpretation is qualitative; no lifetime or conductivity measurement is reported in the main text.

3-4 · Characterization of catalyst · Figure 5 · Linked to 1 structured result

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Mott-Schottky slopes indicate that PCN-222(M) behaves as an n-type semiconductor.

Caveat: This is band-position/electrochemical semiconductor evidence; the paper does not report direct electrical conductivity or carrier mobility.
