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

Zn-m-TTFTB and Cd-m-TTFTB show two quasi-reversible one-electron redox processes assigned to TTF/TTF radical cation and TTF radical cation/TTF2+ couples.

Caveat: Solid-state CV peaks broaden with faster scan rates, indicating slow diffusion through the framework.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Different carboxylate coordination modes of the truncated m-TTFTB ligand give Zn-m-TTFTB a 2D framework and Cd-m-TTFTB a 1D chain-like structure.

Caveat: This is a structural interpretation from crystallography rather than a measured transport mechanism.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

O-H...O hydrogen bonds play a vital role in assembling higher-dimensional structures in m-TTFTB and Zn/Cd-m-TTFTB.

Caveat: The claim is based on crystallographic packing analysis and hydrogen-bond tables; no perturbation experiment was performed.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Solid-state UV-vis-NIR absorption and EPR data support intramolecular charge transfer within the m-TTFTB ligand in the CPs.

Caveat: Charge-transfer assignment is spectroscopic; no direct carrier mobility or band-structure measurement is reported.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Electrical conductivity of Zn/Cd-m-TTFTB is closely related to S...S interactions in the single-crystal structure, with shorter S...S distances associated with higher conductivity.

Caveat: Only two new CPs are directly compared here; conductivity was measured on pressed pellets and remains low, so morphology/contact effects may contribute.
