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: Medium

The product is a continuous mixed-metal Schiff-base coordination polymer rather than a discrete complex.

Caveat: No crystallographic structure or powder diffraction evidence is reported; assignment relies on elemental analysis, spectroscopy, TG, and the proposed structure.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

TG behaviour supports the proposed composition and absence of coordinated or lattice water.

Caveat: TG curve is low-resolution in the render, so decomposition details are taken from text rather than digitisation.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

The pressed polymer pellet shows ohmic current-voltage behaviour and low activation energy semiconducting transport.

Caveat: Electrical geometry is two-electrode with silver-paint contacts; no uncertainty, replicate statistics, or single-crystal data are reported.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Hall and iodine-doping measurements indicate p-type behaviour, with iodine increasing conductivity as an electron-acceptor dopant.

Caveat: The Hall-sign value is not tabulated, and the iodine-doped fixed-field condition is inconsistently reported as 60 V/cm in text and 66 V/cm in the Figure 7 caption.
