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 four lanthanide-hypophosphite frameworks adopt a novel AB2X7 composition rather than the known lanthanide-formate ABX4 structural model.

3382 · Background and Originality Content · Scheme 1 · Linked to 4 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

The hypophosphite ligand transfers weak antiferromagnetic exchange between Gd3+ ions in complex 1.

Caveat: Magnetic measurements were reported for complex 1 only.

3384 · Magnetic properties · Figure 5; Figure S6 · Linked to 3 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Complex 1 has the best proton-conductivity evidence in this paper because guanidinium provides six H-donors and dense hydrogen-bond networks in the channels.

Caveat: Only complex 1 was quantitatively measured for proton conductivity; conductivity of complexes 2-4 is not reported.

3383 · Proton conductivity properties · Linked to 4 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

The authors assign proton conduction in complex 1 to a Grotthuss hopping mechanism based on the 0.15 eV activation energy.

Caveat: Mechanism is inferred from Arrhenius activation energy and hydrogen-bond topology, not directly observed by spectroscopy.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

At high RH, guanidinium guests may cooperate with limited water molecules that enter the channels and improve proton-transfer efficiency.

Caveat: The paper reports poorer single-crystal diffraction after humidification as indirect evidence for limited water entry.
