Author interpretations and caveats

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

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: Medium

The work positions these simple 3D formate frameworks as rare examples of highly conductive 3D MOFs from small in situ generated ligands.

Caveat: Comparison to literature values relies on SI Table S1; no independent benchmarking was performed here.

p004-p007 · Results; Conclusions · Table S1 · Linked to 4 structured results

CaveatSupport assessment: Medium

Observed pellet conductivities may underestimate intrinsic framework conductivity because pellet heterogeneity and grain boundaries impede charge flow.

Caveat: SEM evidence shown for Co-F pellet only; extrapolation to all pellet measurements is plausible but indirect.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Mn-F is the highest-conductivity framework in the reported series, with 47.846 S cm^-1 at 50 C.

Caveat: Best value is temperature-dependent and measured on pressed pellets by a two-probe method.

p001,p005 · Abstract; Results · Table 2 · Linked to 4 structured results

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: High

Formate linkers are generated in situ by DMF decomposition under high-pressure, high-temperature solvothermal conditions, avoiding pre-synthesised organic linkers.

Caveat: Mechanistic attribution is argued from literature precedent and reaction conditions rather than isolated mechanistic intermediates.

p001-p002 · Abstract; Results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

The conductivity decrease in d-Co-F is linked to partial Co2+ oxidation to Co3+ and loss of unpaired d-electrons.

Caveat: XPS supports mixed Co oxidation states, but spin state and transport contribution are inferred.

p005-p006 · Results and discussion · Fig. 7 · Linked to 2 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Conductivity is attributed to both proton transport from dimethylammonium/hydronium species and electronic through-bond transport along metal-formate M-O pathways.

Caveat: The paper reports bulk two-probe conductivities and DFT/PDOS support, but no separate proton/electron transference-number measurement.

p003 · Results and discussion · Table 1; Fig. 5 · Linked to 4 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Thermal guest removal increases room-temperature conductivity for Mn-F, Ni-F and Zn-F but decreases it for Co-F.

Caveat: Deguested activation atmosphere is not reported; mechanism is inferred from XPS, PXRD and proposed hydronium generation.

p005 · Results and discussion · Table 4 · Linked to 4 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

The frameworks behave as semiconducting materials because conductivity increases with temperature and calculated band gaps fall in a semiconductor range.

Caveat: Temperature trend for Mn-F peaks at 50 C then decreases at 60 C; two-probe contact/grain-boundary effects may affect absolute conductivity.
