Author interpretations and caveats

Paraphrased for this database from the authors’ stated interpretations — never quoted verbatim — and kept separate from reported measurements.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

The three materials are assigned as layered 2D c-MOFs with comparable hexagonal single-pore frameworks and AA stacking, while d-spacing varies with linker structure.

Caveat: Assignments rely on PXRD/Pawley fits and simulated stacking models, not single-crystal data.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Combining quinone C=O, pyrazine C=N and CuO4 active sites in Cu-TTPQ increases accessible redox sites and gives higher capacity and cycle life than the single-motif analogues.

Caveat: Battery electrodes are composites with carbon/PVDF; pristine framework transport and structure support but do not alone prove device performance.

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

The MOFs are made by one-pot coordination assembly from flexible ligands, with Cu2+/DMF facilitating in situ cyclodehydrogenation to rigid conjugated linkers.

Caveat: Mechanistic role of Cu2+/DMF is phrased by the authors as probable; no isolated kinetic mechanism is quantified.

3 · Results and Discussion · Figure S9 · Linked to 1 structured result

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Cu-TTPQ has the highest two-probe pellet conductivity among the three pristine frameworks, consistent with the authors' attribution of its slightly higher Na+ diffusion coefficients and rate capability to improved charge transfer.

Caveat: Conductivity is from two-probe pellets and includes contact effects; the cross-cathode diffusion comparison is qualitative because the plotted coefficients were not digitised.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

DFT and ex situ spectroscopy support a two-step Na-storage mechanism in which [CuO4] sites bind first, followed by C=O/C=N ligand sites.

Caveat: DFT potentials only approximately align with experimental plateaus; model cell simplifications are not fully detailed in supplied text.

6 · Results and Discussion · Figure 4 · Linked to 5 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Cu-TTPQ charge storage has mixed diffusion and pseudocapacitive character, with capacitive contribution increasing to 81.5% at 1.6 mV s-1.

Caveat: Kinetic analysis is based on CV peak scaling; no raw numerical data are supplied beyond plotted/labelled values.
