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

The ITO/compound 1/Al Schottky device shows higher conductivity, higher rectification ratio, lower barrier height and lower series resistance under illumination.

Caveat: Transport values are for the fabricated thin-film device stack, not a standalone single-crystal or pellet intrinsic conductivity measurement.

6-8 · Optoelectronic Studies · Figures 6-8; Table 2 · Linked to 8 structured results

CaveatSupport assessment: Medium

The authors used an Al/ITO control to argue that the nonlinear Schottky behaviour and lower current in the compound-1 device are not due to simple electric leakage.

Caveat: The control evidence is qualitative in the SI and no tabulated leakage current values are reported.

S10 · Device Fabrication and Measurements · Figure S8 · Linked to 1 structured result

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

Single-crystal diffraction assigns compound 1 as a 2D Cd(II) coordination polymer with two square-grid cavity motifs.

Caveat: No gas-sorption porosity measurement is reported; cavity dimensions are crystallographic.

3-4 · Structure · Figure 1; Table 1 · Linked to 3 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Light or NaBH4 cleaves the disulfide bond in compound 1, while air exposure reforms the S-S bond, giving a reversible self-healing response.

Caveat: Self-healing is molecular/structural recombination evidence; no macroscopic mechanical healing metric was reported.

4-5 · Photoreversible Polymerization · Figure 3; Scheme 2; Figures S3, S5, S6 · Linked to 4 structured results

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: High

Compound 1 forms through in situ oxidation/dimerisation of 2-MBA thiol groups to the 2,2'-DSB disulfide ligand in air, coordinated with INH around Cd(II).

Caveat: The oxidative role of air is inferred by the authors from product structure and spectroscopy rather than by isolating a kinetic intermediate.

2 and 9 · Synthesis; Conclusions · Scheme 1 · Linked to 4 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

The cathodic redox feature of compound 1 at -1.23 V is assigned to reduction of the disulfide moiety.

Caveat: The authors state that it is not initially clear which group is reduced and use fragment controls to support the disulfide assignment.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

SCLC analysis indicates enhanced charge transport under illumination, with increased mobility and diffusion coefficient and reduced transit time.

Caveat: The SCLC parameters are model-derived from device I-V curves.
