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

Compounds 1 and 2 form inclined intercatenated 2D+2D networks, whereas compound 3 forms a parallel intercatenated 2D+2D network.

main p.1 · Abstract · Figure 2; SI Figures S10-S12 · Linked to 3 structured results

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

As-synthesised bulk samples of 1-3 are phase-pure by comparison of PXRD patterns with simulated patterns from single-crystal data.

Caveat: Only qualitative match statement and rendered PXRD plots are available; no numerical Rietveld or Le Bail analysis is reported.

main p.3 · Synthesis and Formulation · SI Figures S7-S9 · Linked to 1 structured result

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

The conductivity trend is rationalised by measured optical band gaps and DFT HOMO-LUMO gaps, with compound 1 showing the lowest experimental and calculated gaps and the best conductivity.

Caveat: DFT used a single motif and the paper notes geometry factors not considered in the single-motif band-gap calculation.

main p.8 · DFT Computation and Band Gap · Figure 11 · Linked to 7 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Compound 1 has the best overall electrical performance among 1-3, with the highest DC conductivity, highest carrier mobility, highest rectification ratio, lowest charge-transfer resistance, lowest Schottky barrier height, and lowest series resistance.

Caveat: Performance was evaluated on pellets and spin-coated thin-film devices, not on single-crystal directional transport.

main p.8 · Conclusion · Tables 2-4 · Linked to 6 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

ITO/CP/Al thin-film devices based on compounds 1-3 show nonlinear rectifying I-V characteristics consistent with Schottky barrier diode behaviour.

Caveat: The devices are deposited films from DMSO dispersions; film microstructure and contact effects are not deeply resolved.
