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: Medium

Conformational mobility and low symmetry of MnMOF-1 underpin reliable single-crystal transformations and matrix isolation of reactive metal species.

Caveat: Computational ligand models did not include full framework constraints or stabilising effects.

p011 / journal page 94 · Conclusions · Linked to 3 structured results

CaveatSupport assessment: High

The assigned main article, SI, and CIF report no electrical conductivity, charge-transport, thermoelectric or electrochemical performance values for MnMOF-1.

Caveat: No transport-related sections or values were found during the full read of the main article, SI and CIF.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

EDX occupancy confirms near/full Rh metalation for acetone and DCM reactions, while THF and diethyl ether reactions show negligible Rh uptake.

Caveat: EDX table does not list a p-xylene occupancy value, although the main text reports Rh in a 2:3 Rh:Mn ratio for p-xylene as well.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: Medium

PXRD patterns for dried MeOH, EtOH, acetone, DCM, DEE and THF solvatomorphs show features consistent with structural contraction following desolvation.

Caveat: PXRD evidence is qualitative from plotted patterns and captions; no numerical peak positions were tabulated.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Solvent choice controls MnMOF-1 pyrazole conformation and whether post-synthetic Rh metalation is facile.

Caveat: Underlying ESI IR figure and EDX table were not supplied; main text summaries were used.

p011-p012 / journal pages 94-95 · Conclusions · Linked to 8 structured results

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: High

Acetone acts as an intermediate solvate enabling stepwise access to lower-polarity THF, DEE, DCM and p-xylene solvatomorphs without loss of single crystallinity.

Caveat: Route was not effective for toluene and m-xylene; o-xylene retained crystallinity but satisfactory structural data were not collected.
