Paraphrased for this database from the authors’ stated interpretations — never quoted verbatim — and kept separate from reported measurements.
Zn-PDI@FTO exhibits the best reported MOF colouration efficiency in the authors' comparison, 941 +- 35 cm2 C-1 at 746 nm, with high optical contrast and cycling retention.
Caveat: Record claim is relative to the literature comparison available to the authors in 2023 and is an electrochromic metric, not bulk electrical conductivity.
6 · Electrochromic Performances · Figure 5/Table S3 · Linked to 5 structured results
The three Zn-XDI MOFs adopt a common isoreticular monoclinic C2 structure with pyrazolate-bridged tetrahedral Zn2+ chains.
Caveat: Zn-PDI and Zn-PMDI structures were modelled by analogy to Zn-NDI rather than solved independently from single-crystal data in this paper.
4 · Results and Discussion · Figure 2 · Linked to 4 structured results
Similar transition scan rates and Dapp_e values across different pore apertures are attributed to crystallite orientation: channels run parallel to FTO, while charge propagation is normal to the substrate.
Caveat: This is a mechanistic proposal by the authors, not a directly imaged ion-transport pathway.
5 · Electrochemistry of Isoreticular MOF Thin Films · Linked to 4 structured results
High colouration efficiency is attributed to electronically isolated redox-active XDI linkers that maximise Faradaic transformations and minimise capacitive charge losses.
Caveat: Attribution is mechanistic interpretation; capacitive losses were inferred rather than separately quantified in a reported result row.
6 · Electrochromic Performances · Linked to 3 structured results
Electron transport through the Zn-XDI thin films proceeds by cation-coupled electron hopping between electronically isolated XDI linker units.
Caveat: The apparent diffusion coefficients are derived from spectroelectrochemical chronoamperometry rather than direct two-probe/four-probe conductivity.
