Author interpretations and caveats

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

CaveatSupport assessment: High

The paper mentions tunable electrical conductivity as a general MOF property but reports no electrical-transport or thermoelectric measurements.

Caveat: QCM is a resonant mass sensor measurement, not a conductivity measurement.

1 · Abstract

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

Cryogrinding reduces particle size while maintaining original crystalline structure, whereas conventional grinding can damage the structure.

Caveat: Based on XRD patterns and BET collapse; no CIF/refinement data supplied.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

MIL-101 shows the highest adsorption capacity among the tested MOFs because it has the largest surface area and pore volume.

Caveat: MIL-101-AC has slightly lower BET area than MIL-101-BC but higher QCM capacity after particle-size reduction.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Reducing MOF particle size by cryogrinding or microwave synthesis increases VOC adsorption capacity by improving accessibility to internal pores.

Caveat: Adsorption is application/sorption performance, not electrical transport; SI kinetic plots are referenced but absent from the supplied text-only SI.
