Author interpretations and caveats

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

CaveatSupport assessment: High

The paper does not report electrical conductivity, charge transport, thermoelectric, electrochemical, or device-performance measurements for SIFSIX-3-Zn.

Caveat: The article is assigned to a conductive-MOF evidence database, but its first-hand data are structural and spectroscopic.

PDF p1 / article p17798 · Abstract

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

SCXRD identified four crystallographically equivalent CO2 adsorption sites in the CO2-loaded SIFSIX-3-Zn channels, with two equivalent sites separated by 1.10 A within each pore and approximately 0.47 occupancy at each position.

Caveat: Close site proximity prevents simultaneous occupation; CO2 anisotropic displacement parameters are larger than framework atoms, indicating mobility even at 110 K.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Activated and CO2-loaded SIFSIX-3-Zn have similar local framework structures according to 67Zn, 19F, and 29Si SSNMR.

Caveat: The crystal structure of the activated phase was not reported.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Framework SiF6 fluorines and pyrazine hydrogens synergistically interact with adsorbed CO2 and are proposed to drive strong CO2 adsorption in SIFSIX-3-Zn.

Caveat: This paper characterises host-guest contacts and NMR interactions, but does not report a new first-hand adsorption isotherm or heat of adsorption measurement.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

Guest accommodation changes the apparent crystal symmetry: CO2-loaded SIFSIX-3-Zn refines in I4/mcm with a larger unit cell, whereas reported as-made structures are P4/mmm.

Caveat: checkCIF flags pseudo/new space group P4/mmm alerts for the CO2-loaded CIF, so the symmetry change should be interpreted with that crystallographic caveat.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Adsorbed CO2 mobility in SIFSIX-3-Zn is highly restricted even at room temperature; the dominant motion is local C3 wobbling rather than nonlocal hopping.

Caveat: The authors note that translational motion could be present simultaneously, but consider it unlikely because of small pores and strong framework interactions.
