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 article/SI CCDC range 728638-72641 contains an error; the later correction states the correct CCDC numbers are 728638-728641.

Caveat: The correction is a separate text-only supplied document, not a data table.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

The AQDS ligand in RPF8 is assigned as an AQDS3- anion radical based on elemental/electroneutrality evidence, absence of residual neutralising atoms, semiquinone bond-length changes, IR bands, and La-RPF8 paramagnetism.

Caveat: Magnetic moment is lower than one unpaired electron and authors attribute this to dimerisation/spin quenching; spectroscopy/structure provide stronger evidence.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

RPF8 is a pristine 2D lanthanide MOF family in which in situ formed AQDS3- semiquinone radicals pi-stack along the framework, giving measurable room-temperature single-crystal conductivity and high SCLC mobility.

Caveat: Transport was reported only for La-RPF8 single crystals, not every lanthanide member.

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: High

Pure RPF8 formation requires water plus n-butanol, an AQDS/Ln ratio of 2, and a rare-earth cation; no rare earth gives sodium AQDS salt and Co/Fe controls give non-radical AQDS2- frameworks.

Caveat: Optimisation experiments are described qualitatively; full product analyses for failed/variant syntheses are not tabulated.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

La-RPF8 behaves as a small-gap semiconductor with ohmic low-voltage contacts and SCLC-like V^2 current at high voltages; carriers are probably electrons but holes cannot be ruled out.

Caveat: Carrier type is inferred from energy levels; mobility is a lower-limit estimate and injection barriers/traps were not fully treated.
