Author interpretations and caveats

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

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

The bromo compound 2 shows better charge transport than chloro compound 1, attributed to shorter/stronger Br...pi interchain interactions.

Caveat: The attribution is correlative; both compounds are isotypical but transport is measured in spin-coated device films.

6720; 6725 · Abstract; Conclusions · Linked to 6 structured results

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: High

Both conductive coordination polymers were synthesised by slow diffusion/layering of Cu(II), bpe and halo-benzoate components.

Caveat: Atmosphere and exact ambient temperature were not specified for the slow-diffusion crystallisations.

6725 · Conclusions

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Both FTO/compound/Al devices exhibit Schottky diode behaviour.

Caveat: Device parameters derive from diode-model fits and the ideality factors deviate from ideal values.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Forward-bias transport is assigned to ohmic conduction in region I and trap-assisted SCLC in region II.

Caveat: Exact slope labels were read from a small figure; the text reports approximate slopes.
