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

PcM-Cu MOF spacers enable large negative MR in vertical LSMO/PcM-Cu/Co/Au organic spin valves, reaching -19% for PcNi/PcCu and -22% for PcH2 at 50 K.

Caveat: PcH2-Cu device response is reported as noisy and disappears near 200 K; detailed SI values are figure-label readings rather than raw data.

212-213 · MR behavior of MOFs-based devices · Figure 4; Figures S16-S21 · Linked to 6 structured results

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

BET surface areas and TEM-observed ~1.7 nm square micropores support intrinsic porosity in PcM-Cu MOFs, although films are weakly crystalline.

Caveat: High-resolution TEM images of the low-crystallinity films could not be obtained by the authors.

210 · Morphology and structural characterization · Figures S6-S8 · Linked to 5 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

Penetrated Co coordinates to dehydrogenated hydroxyl/catecholate defects in PcM-Cu, creating an AFM PcM-Cu-Co interfacial layer that increases top-Co coercivity and produces exchange bias beneficial for MR.

Caveat: Mechanistic assignment is inferred from TEM line scans, M-H shifts, and literature analogy; exchange-bias values from SI Figure S29 are figure-label readings.

214-215 · Results and Discussion; Conclusion · Figure 5 · Linked to 7 structured results

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: High

Programmed liquid-phase epitaxial layer-by-layer growth gives smooth, continuous, large-area PcM-Cu 2D c-MOF films with thickness controlled by cycle number.

Caveat: Cycle-dependent plot points in SI Figure S5 are figure-read/visual rather than raw-data digitised; main text reports growth-rate and roughness summaries.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Pristine PcM-Cu-30C films behave as semiconducting conductive MOF films, with two-probe 300 K conductivities up to 4.4 mS cm-1 and activated/variable-range hopping regimes.

Caveat: Transport is two-probe; contact effects are not separately quantified.
