Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High
The mixed-ligand Co-HIB-HITP model shows gas-selective synergistic adsorption for H2S and NH3, with reported adsorption-energy improvements of 158% and 170% over the best unmixed control.
Caveat: Computed adsorption energies only; sensing response and recovery were not experimentally tested.

CaveatSupport assessment: High
The authors explicitly note that experimental synthesis and sensing tests, including response/recovery and durability, remain future work.
Caveat: This limits direct evidence for practical sensor performance.

CaveatSupport assessment: High
This is a pure DFT/computational study of model 2D-cMOFs and reports no first-hand synthesis route, activation, measured conductivity, thermoelectric data, porosity experiment, electrochemical testing, or device fabrication.
Caveat: The article cites prior experimental reports for Co-HIB and Co-HITP, but these are not first-hand recipes in this paper and are excluded by the computational no-synthesis-route rule.
PDF p1 / article p3448 · Abstract
Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High
The authors attribute Co-HIB-HITP synergy to a combination of large interlayer displacement and intermediate Co-metal density (5.25%), which exposes amine groups and Co sites to H2S/NH3 binding sites in slipped-parallel layers.
Caveat: Metal density is reported as a structural descriptor in text; no independent experimental structural refinement of the mixed-ligand model is available.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High
Gas selectivity is linked to gas-dependent stacking preference: H2S and NH3 favour AB/slipped stacking, while NO and NO2 favour AA/eclipsed stacking because of different electrostatic interactions with H-rich pore environments.
Caveat: Mechanism inferred from DFT adsorption, Bader charge and CDD, not from experimental gas-sensing measurements.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium
The computed spin-polarised DOS indicates metallic behaviour for pristine Co-HIB, Co-HITP, and Co-HIB-HITP because the DOS crosses the Fermi level, but no numerical electrical conductivity was measured or calculated.
Caveat: DOS crossing is a computational electronic-structure indicator; it is not a substitute for measured transport under device conditions.
